Turquoise Bay

Turquoise Bay is a renowned beach in Cape Range National Park on the Ningaloo Coast, about 60 kilometres south of Exmouth in Western Australia. Part of the Ningaloo Coast World Heritage Area, it is famous for its white sandy shore, clear turquoise water and fringing Ningaloo Reef accessible directly from the beach. The bay is celebrated for drift snorkelling, abundant marine life and pristine natural setting within the national park.

Visitors can expect a long curved white-sand beach with exceptionally clear turquoise water and Ningaloo Reef lying just metres from shore. The bay is divided into a southern drift snorkel area where a gentle current carries snorkellers over coral and fish, and a northern swimming area. There are no shops or resorts, only a car park, toilets and picnic shelters backed by low dunes and spinifex. The setting is natural and exposed with strong sun and limited shade.
