Just outside of Denham is a beautiful body of water called Little Lagoon. The lagoon is almost perfectly circular, shallow and connected to the sea by a narrow channel which flushes the water at high tide. In summer it would be a lovely spot to swim.

We walked across the dunes to the lake, about halfway round and then back along the beach for part of the return journey. The weather was beautiful, easily the warmest day so far in Shark Bay.

We were shocked to see that 4WD vehicles are permitted to drive all around the perimeter beach of the lagoon churning up the sand. Also, although there are a myriad of formed tracks over the dunes, many drivers think it is more fun to drive over the fragile dunes and plants off the tracks causing considerable damage. Considering this is a World Heritage listed area we are so disappointed to see such lack of controls which will lead to degradation of the natural beauty.
