Shell Beach is a unique beach located in the Shark Bay World Heritage Area of Western Australia. It is named for the millions of tiny white seashells that cover the beach, which is over 120 kilometers long. The shells come from a single species of marine snail called the Shark Bay cockle, which is abundant in the shallow waters of the bay.
The beach is a popular tourist destination and visitors can walk along the shore and even swim in the clear turquoise waters. The high salt concentration in the water makes it easy to float and is a unique experience for many visitors.
The beach is also home to many different species of wildlife, including marine life such as dolphins, dugongs, and sea turtles. Visitors can go on tours to explore the area, which includes the Shark Bay Marine Park and the Francois Peron National Park. Shell Beach is also an important site for researchers studying the effects of climate change and rising sea levels.
