With the town itself located near the mouth of the Hutt River, it is imperative for those who visit the town to visit the river also. Launch a kayak and travel up the river and you will be surprised at how serene and beautiful the area is. There is a striking contrast between the two banks of the river, with smooth white dune on one side and steep red banks on the other. The river also makes a perfect spot to have a picnic while watching the pelicans that lives there.

The Pink Lake, also known as the Hutt Lagoon, is one of the gems of Port Gregory. It’s water is best known for its light pink hue due to the presence of the algae Dunaliella. The colour of the water can vary between seasons and weather conditions, the best time to visit is about mid-morning or during sundown. The Lake is also a popular place for fashion shoots, so grab your camera and shoot away!

This local saline lake contains the oldest “living fossils” on the planet. The Stromatolites here are estimated to be more than 3000 years old and can be viewed from the Lake Thetis boardwalk which is also a great vantage point to see many native Australian birds.

Port Gregory is brimming with fascinating history, with many historical events playing a role to form what the town is today. Events from the convicts that was brought here, to the transition between industries leave marks to the town. Looking at these buildings allow us to have a glimpse into the life of the past. The Lynton Convict Depot is a remnant of an attempt to hire convicts to farmers, which ended in failure. Sanford’s House was the residence of the Superintendent of Convicts, built entirely by convicts out of limestone.
