An fantastic menu with daily specials of freshly caught fish is highly recommended with a great selection of Australian wine.The New Monkey Bar Beer Garden is a good alternative to more casual dining with extremely reasonable priced items (hot and cold) and also overlooks the beach. There is occasional live entertainment in the bar during high season. There are also 2 fully stocked kitchens that guest can cook for themselves in the kitchens or indeed at any of the BBQ stations throughout the resort.

locationThe resort is located in the heart of Shark Bay World Heritage region of Western Australia, 27 km from Denham, overlooking the famous Dolphin Beach. Because. As the Resort is located within a Reserve guests have to pay entrance fees on arrival to CALM for the continual protection, welfare and research into the wildlife and dolphins. Spectacular contrast of sky, crystal clear water, white sand beaches and dark red hinterland. The Bottle Nosed Dolphins have been coming into the beach on average 3 times a day to feed and interact with humans - have been doing so for the past 40 years. The chance of interaction with the dolphins is very good, however as the dolphins are wild obviously no guarantees can me made.
