About Point Quobba Blowholes
Point Quobba Blowholes is a natural coastal attraction on Quobba Station, about 75 kilometres north of Carnarvon in Western Australia's Coral Coast region. The site features limestone blowholes where ocean swell forces water through sea caves and erupts up to 20 metres into the air. Notable for dramatic coastal scenery, rugged cliffs and powerful wave action, it is a popular day-trip destination for sightseeing and photography, best viewed at high tide and during large swells.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a rugged limestone coastline with active blowholes, sea caves and cliff-top lookouts overlooking the Indian Ocean. The main blowholes spout seawater dramatically when swell and high tide align. The area is open and exposed with fenced viewing areas, interpretive signage, and coastal walking tracks. Nearby sheltered lagoons known as the Aquarium offer calmer water. The setting is remote, natural and windswept with no shade, suited to short walks, sightseeing and photography.
