The Shark Bay World Heritage is best described as and area where white sand beaches meet crystal clear aquamarine waters and the contrasting red soil of the land. A diverse mix of sealife and wildlife combined with natural features not found anywhere in the world, makes this area truely unique.

Local attractions include Eagle Bluff, Stromatolites at Hamelin Pool, Shell Beach, Little Lagoon and Town Bluff. Most of these attraction are on the way to Denham and time should be taken to visit them.
