Big Lagoon
A shallow lagoon ringed by red dunes, a popular spot for kayaking, birdwatching and camping that requires a four-wheel-drive vehicle to reach.
Big Lagoon lies on the western side of Peron Peninsula. It is an open, shallow lagoon surrounded by red dunes and shrubland. At high tide the water turns turquoise, and stingrays, small sharks and wading birds are common. The lagoon has campsites, picnic shelters and toilets, and it is ideal for kayaking, fishing or photographing where the red sand meets the blue water. It is within Francois Peron National Park, so a park pass is required, and the sand track to the lagoon requires a four-wheel-drive vehicle.
