Eagle Bluff
A timber boardwalk on a sea cliff overlooks clear shallow waters, where sharks, rays and turtles are often seen swimming below.
Eagle Bluff lies about 20 km south of Denham. A boardwalk of roughly 400 m has been built along the cliff top, looking down on pale green waters and sandbanks. When the water is clear, you may see lemon sharks, rays, turtles and even dugongs swimming below. White-bellied sea eagles nest on small islands offshore, which is how the bluff got its name. Admission is free. Turn off the bay road onto a dirt track to reach it, which two-wheel-drive vehicles can manage. Midday light is best for spotting underwater animals, so bring polarized sunglasses.
