Customer Reviews
I must agree that it's really embarrassing that the signs 'boardwalk coming soon' are still up. It's been almost 5 years, at the least stop pretending it's temporary. Some of us ACTUALLY really want to see the stromatolytes (and not just tick the box), and will make the trip only to make sure it's truly still closed because it seems unbelievable the repairs hasn't been done yet. Also, there's no repairs ongoing, someone just fenced it off and called it a day. I wouldn't expect it to open anytime soon.
If you loved following Robyn Davidson's adventure in 'Tracks', this is a must-see location - being where her journey from Alice Springs to the WA coast came to an end. The stunning turquoise waters and white shell beach make for a stunning view. Added bonus, being able to view stromatolites and read the information about them. There's a short walking track here too. Just don't expect to be able to swim here - there is a fence preventing entry to the water. Head to Shell Beach nearby if you're desperate to get into that turquoise water and can't hold out until Monkey Mia!
Not much as far as the view goes, but witnessing first-hand some of the earliest efforts of nature to colonize earth (and still standing strong after billion of years) is truly impressive !
