Monkey Mia & Shark Bay

Monkey Mia is world renowned for its natural beauty, friendly wild dolphins and variety of marine life in Western Australia’s popular Coral Coast.
With crystal blue water, stark red rock and pristine white beaches, Monkey Mia is promoted as the only place in Australia where the dolphins choose to swim with you, freely. The dolphins of Monkey Mia are one of the many remarkable features in the area.

From camel treks along the beach to catamaran trips to get closer to exotic marine life, Monkey Mia is a complete tourism experience. Neighbouring Shark Bay also boasts impressive marine life. One of the larges and most secure populations of dugongs in the world can be found in the shallow marine environment of Shark Bay. You cannot help but be engaged by these graceful, if not a little bizarre looking creatures.

The marine life certainly doesn’t stop at dugongs and dolphins. Shark Bay is a turtle nesting location and is also home to rays, sea snakes, sharks, whales and a stunning assortment of fish life.

So significant is the region’s natural beauty that it earned a prestigious World Heritage listing in 1991.
