The Exmouth Navy Pier is one of the top 10 shore dives in the world. As the Navy Pier is a working Australian Navy facility, the only way to access it is through a tour.

There are also a number of dive sites and snorkelling opportunities on Ningaloo Reef, with Turquoise Bay and Oyster Stacks offering direct access to the reef from the beach. Further information:

Turtles use the beaches around Exmouth to lay eggs. The nesting season takes is between late November and early March, with mature females coming ashore to lay eggs. Approximately 40-60 days later, the eggs with hatch and the hatchlings will make their way from the nesting point to the ocean. The Jurabi Turtle Centre contains interpretative displays and night tours take place from this location.
