Shell Beach, located within Francois Peron National Park in Western Australia, is renowned for its unique shoreline composed entirely of tiny white cockle shells, stretching over 70 kilometers. The shells, primarily from the Fragum cockle species, accumulate to depths of up to 10 meters in certain areas. The hypersaline waters of Shark Bay, resulting from high evaporation rates and limited water flow, create an environment where these cockles thrive abundantly. Visitors can enjoy the distinctive landscape, float in the buoyant waters, and explore interpretive signs along the beach that detail the cockle's story. While camping is not permitted at Shell Beach, the surrounding park offers various facilities and activities for visitors to enjoy.
