Since 2002, Cabbage Tree Bay Aquatic Reserve has been a “NO TAKE” marine zone. As a result, fishing and species collection are strictly prohibited, ensuring the conservation of its underwater treasures. The reserve, part of the Great Southern Reef, features rocky reefs, seagrass meadows, and sandy bottoms.

Snorkeling on a glorious summers day

The water was warm, the sun was shining and the fish were out. We did an hour in the water exploring the Shelley Beach aquatic marine reserve as well as a walk through the headland. We unfortunately didn't see the turtle that hangs around, but the beach was incredibly busy with swimmers, snorkelers and boats, so it may have been too busy. 10/10 recommend!

Our guide was very friendly and answered any questions we had. The experience was so fun and nice and relaxing! We even got to witness fresh water coming into the basin after 2 years of no new water coming in due to the drought!
Amazing Tour with EcoTreasures!
