Francois Person National Park boasts exceptional scenery with striking colours from the deep ochre red cliffs to the white beaches and turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. It is the traditional land of the Malgana people and in recent history has been used as pastoral land. You can reach this picturesque National Park via a 2-hour flight into Denham-Monkey Mia Airport or take the drive along the rest of WA’s breathtaking coastline.
While the national park is accessible all year round with plenty of summer activities, the Shark Bay region comes alive between July-October with the annual whale migration and wildflowers. Enjoy a dip in the hot tub at the historical Peron Heritage Precinct or take a walk to the lookout points of Cape Peron & Skipjack Point.
Please note that much of the Shark Bay region is only accessible by 4WD and that pets are not to enter the national park.
