Jurien Bay

Jurien Bay is approximatley 260 kilometres north of Perth, the capital of Western Australia.

Jurien Bay is the largest town in the Dandaragan Shire and it has developed as a result of the growth of the rock lobster industry. In more recent times the town has become a popular holiday and recreation area because of its attractive coastline and seclusion. Like Cervantes, visitors to Jurien can also enjoy the incredible marine life found in the waters off the town and have the opportunity to interact with seals, enjoy swimming, snorkelling and fishing as well as exploring the offshore reefs and islands in the area.

The town of Jurien Bay is earmarked as the future sub-regional centre for the central west coast. The town already boasts a modern boat harbour, which has become the focus for the expanding aquaculture industry. It also has a sea rescue group, a multi purpose health centre, childcare facilities, a district high school and a variety of accommodation and restaurant choices.

Underwater Recommendations

Offshore reefs and islands at Jurien Bay offer plenty of dive sites to choose from. The different Butterfly fish and various tropical Wrasse mix and match with Blue Groupers and Western Blue Devils. Wonderful coral and sponge gardens are part of the underwater landscape.

Diving is at its best during autumn and spring.
