Steep Point WA @ ExplorOz

On the eastern side or Shark Bay side are numerous sandy beaches, where one can see fish swimming in the shallows or rock pools.

From a fishing point of view Steep Point itself, is arguably the best rock fishing platform in Australia, with the main catch being mackerel and snapper.

Although known to most as Steep Point, the point itself is located at the western tip of the peninsula. The official name for the area is Edel Land and soon it will become known as Edel Land National park.

Steep Point is the most westerly point of the Australian mainland. Vehicle access is by 4WD only. Soft roaders and low clearance 4Wdrives may have difficulty in crossing soft and steep sand dunes.

On the western side of the Steep Point area are the Zuytdorp Cliffs (pronounced Zurtoff), these in places are up to 170 metres high. The Indian Ocean smashing against these cliffs provides sightseers with fantastic photography opportunities at almost every turn.
