Snorkelling at Cape Leveque

Gday
I could suggest that it would be deadly. I haven't been there or swam there , but its high enough up the coast to have long dogs swimming around.

You will be warned not to swim/snorkel on the western beach as the currents are very strong - after all it is a cape. Swimming at the northern beach but nothing compared to Exmouth region. No mention of crocs. Safe travels. Mike

It is absolutely fantastic!! I have dived (spearing) there on 2 differrent trips. Both times have coincided with spring tides - so in the morning and late afternoon the tide goes out making it possible to almost walk across to the island. There is a great deep section on the right as you are walking over to the island that I speared a nice Bluebone for dinner in. There were heaps of Trout, Cod, Bluebone, Trevalley, Barracuda etc - The diving in that spot certainly compares to Exmouth / Ningaloo.
I only dived for an hour either side of the tide and got out as soon as the current started to pick up (it gets dirty anyway) - I was also wearing a Shark Shield (dont know how they would go on crocs - probably not that well...), and a full length 1mm wetsuit incase of stingers.
On one of the days i dived there I got out after about 15 mins as I had a horrible, uneasy feeling in the water - a croc was sighted the next morning off the Western beach.....
The Bluebone cooked whole in coals at the closest beach shack to the point was fantastic!!!

Was up there mid April this year and did some snorkelling. It was very nice. MASSIVE chunks of square / rectangular rocks that look like an ancient building was there. Very colorful fish in places. Water was very clear most of the time.

Tides were great whilst we were there but just not low enough to walk to the island :(

Crocs are apparently rarely seen around the area, but there are some at Hunter Creek which isn't too far up the coast, so do be careful.

Enjoy yourself :)

That's what I love about this Forum; every now and again something out of left field. I would never had tought about snorkelling there, but now...

hi frances
they get crocs as far south as broome regulary and they have been down to port hedland on the odd occasion so your cape leveque diving experience could be the last thing you do
it's your choice the risk is your decision
not for me thanks
cheers
