Waterfall Reef

Located off the coast of Cygnet Bay in the northern region of Western Australia, the Waterfall Reef is a sight to behold. Those who visit the area have the opportunity to go on boat rides organised by the Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm, allowing them to witness this captivating natural wonder up close.

If you’re lucky enough, like I was, to visit during the early morning with the outgoing tide, you’ll be treated not only to the breathtaking sight of the Waterfall Reef but also to a mesmerising sunrise that adds an extra touch of magic to the experience.

Waterfall Reef

The reef itself is not rock, it is actually a coral reef, and as the tides goes out the ocean above the reef vanishes, creating the extraordinary sight of the waterfall in the middle of the ocean.
