Protect our coastline and turtles by not driving on the beaches

Show your respect and help to protect Gnaraloo’s wild nature and character by keeping your vehicle to defined tracks and off beaches and dunes. Exploring the beaches in your 4WD, hooning in the dunes and free camping along the Gnaraloo coastline only damages and destroys its heritage, indigenous, biological, and geological values. You may even harm turtles without knowing it!

#KeepGnaralooWild

Nestled in the Ningaloo Coast World Heritage Area, the unique ecosystems of Gnaraloo are habitat to fascinating animals. The Gnaraloo sea turtles nesting areas, located at Gnaraloo Bay and Gnaraloo Cape Farquhar, are among the few remaining areas in the world where turtles can lay their eggs without any disturbance or pollution. Discover the spectacular beauty of Gnaraloo and help to keep it as it is.

Documentary: The Mystery of the Gnaraloo Sea Turtles

This breakthrough documentary was made at Gnaraloo about the Gnaraloo Turtle Conservation Program and the first ever satellite tracking of loggerhead females that nest on the Gnaraloo coastline. You can watch it here for free! Please consider making a donation to support our conservation efforts and help us to continue to protect the Gnaraloo nesting beaches. Thanks for watching!
