Shark Bay in Western Australia’s spectacular Gascoyne region features over 1,500 kilometres of pristine coastline. It’s where rugged red cliffs and sun-bleached white sand meet the almost transparent azure waters of the Indian Ocean – providing perfect conditions for a vast range of premium quality culinary fish and crustacean species.
