Rocky Point is a striking granite headland on the Cape to Cape Track, near Eagle Bay in the Margaret River region of Western Australia's Southwest Capes. This exposed snorkeling spot features clear waters washing over a rocky reef platform with granite boulders, shallow pools, and gutters. Part of the Ngari Capes Marine Park, it offers a wild, off-the-beaten-path experience where oceanic swells surge around the point. Best on calm, low-swell days, the underwater terrain is a mosaic of boulders, sand patches, and kelp beds.
