The cakes baked at this bakery are absolutely delicious.
The staff are friendly and serve the customers efficiently.
I didn't try the pies and pasties but they did look nice as well

A very nice place to watch the sunset or watch the sport on the big screens.
The food is good. The main part of the dish is very good and a nice serving but the salads or vegetables are pretty meagre and there is nothing special about the chips.
The desserts are delicious.

The history of Shark Bay is explored excellently in the superb displays here.
The museum is set out in the shape of Shark Bay and explores each section of the World Heritage Area.
The exploration history, settlement history and natural history of the area are all addressed.
There is wonderful educational value in the displayes here.
There is also a video running in parts of the museum with playmakers talking about various aspects of the region.
The entry fee is for two days so that you can return the next day and see whatever you missed the first time.

At first glance this is a nice looking park. There are no slabs and the ground is all gravel (as it is in the other parks around here too). The sites are nicely set out with some fencing.
The camp kitchen is split between a shadecloth humpy at the end of the toilet blocks with a couple of barbeques and seating and the laundry which has a toaster, kettle and microwave.
The pool has a barbeque area which is much more sheltered and the barbeques look better.
The park is located about 400m inland from the main shopping centre.
The amenities are clean and a nice size. The water in the showers is downright dangerous. It fluctuates between scolding hot and icy cold and keeps doing so for the duration of your shower.

The location of this park is one of the features here. It is right on a dune above a lovely part of Shark Bay. There are kilometers of beaches running past the park.
The sites are well defined by fences. There are no slabs and the ground is all gravel.
There is a pool and a shop/restaurant plus an area called the Bullpit where you can sit (use the internet) or watch TV.
The camp kitchen has most of what you want but it is a bit dirty. The barbeques are not that clean and there is no hotplate.
The amenities are showing their age. They are kept clean and the showers have reasonable pressure. It is bore water though.
The other selling point for this park is the artesian bore. It has water that is about 37 degrees and is set up as a spa - with bubble jets and all.
Approximate cost: $30
A very nice park with lots of shade and nice grassy sites.
Some of the sites have a slab.
The amenities are nice and clean and quite large. The water pressure in the shower is poor and the temperature variable.
There is a nice looking swimming pool.
The camp kitchen is very well equipped with all that you would need.
Approximate cost: $42
A very nice serving of fish and chips.
This place has a nice variety of meals.
Servings are a good size and the food is not too greasy.
The shop is only a short walk from the water
Approximate cost: $8
The pizzas are well covered and delicious. The crust is thin and there is a lovely selection of pizzas.
The pizzas come in 2 sizes - large and family.
The chips, although a little salty, are otherwise very nice.
Approximate cost: $25
There is an excellent selection of delicious baked food here. Unlike most placed with a variety of pies there is a good quantity so you can get the pie that you like.
There is a wide selection of cakes and slices and all are beautifully presented.
The service is quick.

Three hour tour which goes out to the turtle sanctuary and then to two different snorkel sites.
If you are lucky you can also see hump back whales breaching in the distance. We also had a massive sting ray swim under the boat.
The snorkel sites are both nice and quite different. They are not very deep and perfect for the inexperienced.
The staff were great - really helpful and friendly.
Afternoon tea is a milo, tea or coffee and some fruit cake.
