THE DAMPIER ARCHIPELAGO

The Dampier Archipelago hosts a collection of 42 pristine islands off the coast of Dampier. It boasts breathtaking white sand beaches, sparkling, clean waters, abundant fishing, marine life encounters, coral reefs and world class diving and snorkeling. 25 of these islands are protected as part of the Dampier Archipelago Marine Park, with camping available on some islands. Between July and September migratory humpback whales may be seen in large numbers in the waters off the Archipelago. 

The islands of the Archipelago can only be reached by boat. Please note fires and pets are not permitted on the islands.
