At the end is the Underwater Observatory, with more than 300 individual marine species, it is host to an awe inspiring "forest" of vividly-coloured tropical and sub-tropical corals, sponges and fish. It is described as Australia's greatest artificial reef.
The unique Underwater Observatory allows you to view remarkable marine life. It has launched the jetty as a world class, internationally recognised, tourism icon.
Each year during autumn and winter, the Leeuwin Current brings a narrow band of warm water down the Western Australian coastline. This warm southerly current is responsible for the incredibly diverse array of tropical and sub-tropical species in Geographe Bay including coral growth.
To view amazing marine life you descend eight metres below sea level to the ocean floor via a spiral staircase. There are eleven viewing windows at various levels within this concrete chamber allowing you to view Geographe Bay’s amazing underwater garden. It can accommodate up to 40 people at one time.
