About 60 km of shoreline made entirely of tiny white shells, with layers several meters deep, in L’Haridon Bight.
A boardwalk over a cliff on the edge of Shark Bay, about 20 km from Denham, where you can see sharks, rays, turtles and sometimes dugongs in the shallow water.
Park at the northern tip of the Peron Peninsula, with red dunes, lagoons, beaches and Cape Peron, accessible only by 4x4 vehicle.
