Description
Cape Keraudren is a highly scenic coastal location with a mix of mangrove dwellers, coastal seabirds and bushbirds and is important for migratory shorebirds - refer to the sample of bird species listed below.
Note that summer is generally best for migratory shorebids but the climate here in this season can be extremely hot - take precautions - this is a remote location. And... another caution, be prepared for occasional sandfly outbreaks; cover up or do some spraying.
This site is best birded by walking/driving the area via the tracks network to the mangroves, mudflats and areas of scrub.

From the WA Tourism page - see link: "Cape Keraudren Nature Reserve is situated on a picturesque beach with pristine white sands that stretch as far as the eye can see. The clear blue water is a spectacular welcome to the start of the famous Eighty Mile Beach. This well travelled stretch of beach is well placed on the tourist trail between Port Hedland and Broome.
Take one of several walk trails through the nature reserve to see a diversity of native flora and fauna that has made its home along this pristine coastline. Relax on the beach while the children collect shells as souvenirs to take home.
There is easy access for beach fishing, and even a few mud crabs around to tempt your taste buds. Camp overnight and catch the magnificent sunset over the ocean. Gaze at hundreds of stars lighting up the night sky in this secluded location.
With so much on offer in the reserve, allow at least one full day to explore the remote surroundings. Cape Keraudren Nature Reserve is a 1.75 hour drive northeast of Port Hedland.
Tourists are advised to check for alerts and road/park closures before commencing their travel on www.emergency.wa.gov.au and https://alerts.dbca.wa.gov.au"
