Pink Lake (Hutt Lagoon)

Hutt Lagoon, commonly known as the Pink Lake, is a striking body of water located just north of Kalbarri, distinguished by its vibrant pink hue, particularly vivid during the warmer months. This colour is attributed to high salinity and a specific alga, Dunaliella salina, which thrives in such environments, making it a unique natural phenomenon. Visit early in the morning or late afternoon for the best light and to capture the lake at its most vivid. Nearby attractions include the Kalbarri National Park, known for its dramatic coastal cliffs, which offers a contrast to the lake's surreal landscape. The scent of salt and the gentle sound of waves provide a serene backdrop to your visit.
