First stop, Turquoise Bay in Ningaloo Marine Park. Known as one of the most beautiful WA beaches, its the perfect spot to spend the day relaxing, swimming and snorkelling. You be the ‘judge’! The white sandy shores give way to clear waters harbouring a plethora of marine life. There’s an area called “Drift Loop’, at the sandy point at the southern end of the bay. A natural current flows from south to north, taking you over beautiful corals.

Bloodwood Creek: I put the drone up at the scenic lookout north of the carpark, and got views of the lagoon and beyond to the outer Ningaloo reef. Didn’t see a humpback whale unfortunately!

Yardie Creek and gorge: there’s a 2 km walk overlooking the ancient Yardie Creek gorge. With amazing views of red limestone cliff faces and the opportunity to see an array of birds and wildlife (I didn’t)….but I did get spectacular views into the creek and out to the reef at the other end.

Kori Bay where you can swim and snorkel away from the crowds……

Mangrove Bay and sand flats: I could have gone to the bird ‘observation hide’, but I’m not really a ‘twitcher’….far preferred droning over the sandflats, which yielded this image….
