Whitlock Island is a pristine limestone island nestled within the Jurien Bay Marine Park on Western Australia's Coral Coast. Surrounded by clear turquoise waters and sandy seafloor, its nearshore reefs and seagrass meadows support a rich diversity of marine life. Accessible only by boat, this protected nature reserve offers a secluded snorkeling escape where visitors can drift above rocky reef ledges and seagrass beds in calm, sheltered conditions — a true hidden gem of the Turquoise Coast.
