Shell Beach
Shell Beach
Shell Beach is located in Shark Bay, Western Australia, about 45 kilometers from Denham. As the name suggests, it should be covered with shells—and you’re half right. More accurately, it is one of only two beaches in the world that are entirely made up of shells. The beach is piled high with shells that stretch for 110 kilometers, formed by billions of individual shells, and is hailed as the most luxurious beach in the world. The abundance of shells is due to the fact that they have no natural predators here, allowing them to reproduce in massive numbers. Over 4,000 years of accumulation, this snow-white beach was formed. From a distance, the Australian coast looks as if it is covered in pristine white snow, making it one of the whitest beaches in the country.
The accumulated shells at Shell Beach now reach a height of 7 to 10 meters, having formed shell limestone. Shell Beach has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of Shark Bay to better protect this magical expanse of white.
