Monkey Mia and Ningaloo Reef

North of Kalbarri, the landscape becomes increasingly rugged. The beaches are thin slivers of white sand sandwiched between turquoise blue ocean and the ochre arid land. The real highlights are in the water: dolphins at Monkey Mia and elsewhere, and the whalesharks, manta rays, sea turtles and multicoloured fish around the Ningaloo Reef. I was lucky enough to spot all of these creatures while out snorkelling.
