Monkey Mia beach

Monkey Mia is a beach in Western Australia. This is probably the best place in the world to observe the dolphins, that swim here every day to get fish from people. There are also a lot of emus and pelicans. Interesting hiking trails around the dunes give opportunity to understand the life of native aborigines. Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

Monkey Mia has the only hotel, mostly focused on the vancampers. Private room rates start from US$100 per night.

10 miles to the southwest, in the Denham town the choice of hotels is much better, but these are not cheap.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Perth international airport (PER). Next move by taxi about 300 miles to the north.

You may also take a flight from Perth to Shark Bay airport (MJK) located near the Monkey Mia.

When to go [edit]

The best time for a beach holiday in Monkey Mia is a warm period from November to May. However even that time sea water doesn't warm up to a comfortable temperature.
