80 Mile Beach, Western Australia.

Eighty Mile Beach is a 220 klm stretch of white sand in Western Australia, located halfway between Broome and Port Hedland.  It is a popular spot for fishing and shell collecting, known for its spectacular sunsets and as a vital wetland for migratory birds and a nesting ground for flatback turtles.  Due to risk of jellyfish, sharks, and crocodiles, swimming is not recommended, although some visitors use the caravan park for a base to enjoy the surroundings..

We have stayed at 80 miles beach a few times and enjoyed it.  Walked along part of the beach, collected shells and watched the sunsets.  The area is rather isolated being rather hot in the winter when we travelled there each time with no humidity.

    That beach looks incredible. Walking the shore and collecting shells must be so relaxing. Seeing the flatback turtles in their natural habitat makes it even more special.

    I would enjoy being there, but it's sad to see those tyre tracks on the sand. I shudder to think of the microscopic organisms crushed beneath the wheels of those vehicles.

    I see Marble Bar on the map. Yes, it must be very hot in that area, but better than humidity. There are quite a few people on the beach.
