Francois Peron National Park, Natural reserve in Shark Bay, Australia

The national park spans 525 square kilometers where red desert meets white sandy beaches and turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean.

The area transformed from Peron Station pastoral lease to protected status in 1993, following its acquisition by the Western Australian government in 1990.

The Malgana Aboriginal people have inhabited this region for over 26,000 years, naming the Peron Peninsula as Wulyibidi.

Visitors need a four-wheel drive vehicle to explore beyond the Peron Heritage Precinct due to challenging sandy tracks throughout the park.

Skipjack Point Lookout provides observation points for marine life including dugongs, dolphins, turtles, and manta rays in the waters below.

Location: Shire Of Shark Bay

GPS coordinates: -25.69819,113.50724
