SHARK BAYThis World Heritage listed area offers colourful and diverse landscapes, and rich

indigenous history. Be sure to start your journey of discovery at the modern World

Heritage Discovery and Visitor Centre in Denham. After meeting the world famous

dolphins of Monkey Mia, visit the snow white Shell Beach along with the nearby

Stromatolites of Hamelin Pool, the world’s oldest life form. The Shark Bay area

abounds with marine life, including one of the largest dugong populations on the

globe. A short boat ride or flight away is the untouched paradise of Dirk Hartog Island,

from where you can watch Australia’s last sunset.
