Explore the glorious Indian Ocean by stand-up paddle board and discover one of the best places to SUP in Western Australia. The Shoalwater Marine Park is located just 45 minutes south of Perth and is best known for the crystal-clear waters that surround the nearby islands; Penguin Island and Seal Island.

Due to the numerous sandbars, the area is very protected from waves or chop and with limited boats or swimmers it makes for a beautiful and calm Australian SUP spot. Shoalwater Bay is a charming sheltered area, it's relatively easy to paddle from the mainland to the islands.
