Jurien Bay

Tucked along Western Australia’s Indian Ocean coast, Jurien Bay is a town whose character is shaped by the limestone reefs, seagrass beds and offshore islands of Jurien Bay Marine Park. Part of the Coral Coast, it faces a long open shoreline of pale sand and shallow water rather than a sheltered harbour. The marine park provides habitat for Australian sea lions and seabirds, making the sea central to the area’s identity. Jurien Bay’s name dates from the 1801 French Baudin expedition and honours naval administrator Charles Marie Jurien. The town is also a useful stop for travellers heading to the Pinnacles Desert in Nambung National Park. Place Jurien Bay within the wider Coral Coast by browsing webcams from nearby locations.
