Bill's Bay is a serene, sheltered snorkeling spot along the South West Capes coast of Western Australia, tucked within the limestone headlands that characterise this dramatic shoreline. The bay's calm, shallow inshore waters are shielded from prevailing south-westerly swells, creating clear conditions ideal for exploring sandy-bottomed gutters and low reef ledges just metres from shore. Seasonal marine visitors and the striking contrast of turquoise water against weathered ochre cliffs make this a rewarding off-the-beaten-path site for those exploring the Cape to Cape region.
