Visit The Stromatolites
Among the most diverse in the world, this is the chance to see what an incredible marine ecosystem looked like many years ago.
These microbial mats show the complex relationship between various species and how they work together in one community, depending highly on each other. This is a visit that you will definitely remember for many years to come.
Spend A Day At Shell Beach
If you love shells and are all about collecting a little keepsake to take home with you as a cherished memory of your time exploring, you will adore a day spent at Shell Beach!
Made up of trillions of tiny shells, all from the Fragum cockle, this is a beach that is like no other.
The waters are very salty and shallow and make the perfect place to float around and take in the heat of summer, just be sure to bring your sunscreen with you!
Top Travel Tips To Keep You Safe!
Located in a remote part of Western Australia, Shark Bay comes with several key points that all travellers should keep in mind during their visit.
Firstly, the temperatures in summer are very high and for visitors who are not used to such heat, preparation is vital. It is scary how quickly a situation can turn dangerous when visitors are not prepared for the weather.
It’s also good to remember that some areas are not very accessible and should not be explored without the help of a professional tour guide.
Dangerous wildlife is another area to familiarise yourself with before visiting Shark Bay.
Despite the name, sharks are not a massive threat here, and whilst there are nearly 30 shark species recorded in Shark Bay, only one or two could be counted as dangerous.
Whilst in the water you should be extra vigilant against sea snakes, whilst they do not tend to attack they are very venomous.
Stingrays also tend to be plentiful and blue-ringed octopuses call this place home and are amongst the most deadly out there; keep an eye out for these and avoid them at all costs!
One of the best ways to keep yourself safe while visiting Shark Bay is to enjoy your surroundings with the help of a reputable tour guide.
