Lucky Bay

Lucky Bay, located in the Cape Le Grand National Park, is a famous tourist spot on Western Australia's south coast.

It is known for its bright, white sand, turquoise waters, and serene ambience, attracting visitors from all over the world.

The bay got its name from Matthew Flinders, who sailed into the hazardous Archipelago of the Recherche and found his ship surrounded by islands and rocks at nightfall. He took refuge in a sandy bay that sheltered his ship and was safe from strong winds, and named it Lucky Bay.

Lucky Bay is renowned for having the whitest sand in Australia, possibly even in the world. The sand is made up of fine grains of milky or frosted quartz, contributing to its pristine white appearance. Visitors can also enjoy the clear water and lack of noise pollution, making it an ideal destination to unwind.

Tourists flock to Lucky Bay to experience its relaxing and peaceful environment. Activities such as swimming, snorkeling, fishing, surfing, and launching small boats are popular. Camping is also a great way to enjoy the location, with kangaroos sometimes wandering around the beach area. There are solar powered showers and public toilets accessible to campers. Additionally, whale watching is a popular activity, offering the opportunity to see whales during a visit to Lucky Bay.
