Cape Peron, Rockingham

The colours strike you first. Two distinct shades of blue sea, the shallows where you can see sharks, dugong, giant rays and dolphins swimming, and the darker blue water with sea beds coated in sea grass. Then the blue sky, dotted with occasional white clouds, and the stunning red sandy dust and red rocks clashing against the white sand. It really is overwhelming and I am going back this year for a third time. It is without doubt the most vividly colourful landscape I have ever seen. Stunning. And all so deserted and remote. It really feels like a secret dream world that has not been discovered yet. There isn't anything in sight that gives away the fact that we're in the 21st century. Easy to get to from Perth and well worth the detour. Make sure you have lunch at "Room with a View" where you look over both bays at once. Amazing.
