The
Indian Ocean is not far from Eneabba - just a 25-minute drive on the
Eneabba-Leeman (Coolimba) Road. There are two towns on the coast - Leeman
and Greenhead, and many beautiful spots in between.

There
are Australian Sea Lion colonies on Fisherman's Island and Beagle Island
and on a particularly lucky day one can see them in water when fishing
from the beach. Dolphins and stingrays (and, sometimes, a shark) can
also be seen. By the way, the fishing
is usually quite good. The best swimming spot is probably the Dynamite
Bay in Greenhead - watch out for small jellyfish stingers though.

The
chain of salt lakes stretches along the coast. In summer, when they
are partially dry, it is possible to take a four-wheel drive right around
the lakes. Please seek local assistance if you would like to attempt
this journey, wash your vehicle thoroughly afterwards and never drive
on lake surface (no matter how good it looks). There are stories about
vehicles going through the salt crust in seconds. There are also many
tracks going to the coast from the Leeman-Greenhead road - please take
care, as majority of them are accessible by four-wheel drive vehicle
only. Please click
on the image to enlarge it.
