Marmion Marine Park lies just off the beaches of Perth's northern suburbs. Humpback whales frolick in the park's waters during their southern migration in August through to November. Southern right whales sometimes come in close to the shore in the winter months. In protected Mettams Pool, snorkellers can explore limestone reef areas with many interesting fish, shellfish and seaweed species. The deeper areas offer small limestone islands and submerged reefs undercut by caves in which colourful fish, sponges, sea stars, soft corals and many more fascinating sea creatures abound.
