Fowlers Bay Conservation Park (coastal shore)

Fowlers Bay Conservation Park spans the remote, wind-swept coastline of the Great Australian Bight, offering sheltered bays and sandy beaches for shore-entry snorkeling. The cool Southern Ocean waters here are famed for their clarity on calm days, revealing granite reef platforms and seagrass meadows. The park's isolation rewards snorkelers with encounters with Australian sea-lions and, from May to October, migrating southern right whales visible just beyond the surf line. The terrain is raw and untamed — towering sand dunes back the coast, while the exposed headlands at Mexican Hat provide dramatic vantage points over the bight.
