Eighty Mile Beach Marine Park

The marine park lies between Port Hedland and Broome just off the Great Northern Highway. The pristine coastline is popular for beach fishing with targeted species including threadfin salmon, blue nose salmon and mulloway. Enjoy combing the beach for tropical sea shells while you stroll along the shoreline. Pack a picnic to enjoy while watching one of the picturesque sunsets. 

Under the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, Eighty Mile Beach Marine Park is internationally significant. Thousands of small wading migratory birds flock to the stretch of coastline from other countries. They feed during their annual migration in the summer months.  

Flatback turtles found only in Northern Australia also share the beach for nesting. During October through to February, the female turtles make their way on shore to lay their eggs. Eight weeks later, hatchlings can be seen scrambling their way to the water. Enjoy these protected marine turtles from a distance to avoid disturbing them.  

You can stay at Eighty Mile Beach Caravan Park which has a mini mart, powered sites, barbecues, shade and lawn.
