The award-winning beach, located in Cape Range National Park, is a 30 minute drive from the small town of Exmouth, making it the perfect spot to relax and unwind.
But it’s a whopping 14 hours if you’re travelling there from Perth, the closest capital city.
The beach is a popular destination for snorkelling fans and ocean photographers who wish to see or capture the incredible underwater life.
Beach visitors are advised to always follow signs when swimming and should only stay inside the marked areas for safety reasons.
