Hutt Lagoon, Gregory, Australia
On the journey between Port Gregory and Kalbarri, the waters of Hutt Lagoon can occasionally be a stunning shade of red, lilac, or even brilliant bubblegum pink. Before sunset, go outside and observe how the colors change. You can get to Hutt Lagoon from Perth by using the Indian Ocean Drive in less than six hours. Within 30 minutes, if you're coming from Kalbarri, you'll catch your first view of the lagoon. The most distinctive view is available from Geraldton by scenic flight, with the Indian Ocean standing out against the pink lake.
The lagoon's peculiar colour is a result of the exceptionally high saline level, and its brightness varies with the season and time of day. The best time to go is in the middle of the day or just before sunset on a clear day. Along Port Gregory Road, there are several locations to stop and take in this natural spectacle. The charming fishing community of Port Gregory is tucked away between Hutt Lagoon and the seashore. Choose from farmstays, chalets, beach cottages, and the trailer park for your overnight accommodation after picking up refreshments at the local shop.
