Bunker Bay Beach, Coastal beach in Naturaliste, Australia
Description
Bunker Bay Beach is a coastal beach in Naturaliste where a curved shoreline meets Indian Ocean waters with pale sand and clear blue tones. The beach sits near low limestone cliffs that frame the bay and create natural shelter from strong winds.
History
The Wardandi people maintained deep ties to this coastal region for thousands of years before European settlement transformed Western Australia. The bay later became a focal point for tourism development in the region's natural landscape.
Culture
The annual salmon migration in March brings together local fishing communities who gather at Bunker Bay to participate in seasonal catches.
Practical
The beach is accessible through the Pullman Bunker Bay Resort with a private boardwalk offering direct access along with restrooms and parking areas. Calm conditions are most common in early morning hours or on days when winds are light.
Did you know?
Dolphins appear close to shore throughout the year, and humpback whales pass through the bay during their seasonal migration. These marine encounters make visits rewarding for wildlife watchers across different times of year.
