False Entrance Blowholes
Deep blowholes, penetrated by the wave energy through 30-40 m thick rocks. At high swell jets of water rise from the holes. Usually, only air is pushed through the holes with intimidating howls.
Dirk Hartog Island Blowhole
Impressive blowhole at the base of some 40 m high seaside cliffs. At high swells, it creates a deafening noise and shoots up to 60 m high. Then it can be seen from some 20 km distance. Usually it is around 10 m high.
Thunder Bay Blowholes
Unusually powerful blowholes. Here the coastal cliffs (Zuytdorp Cliffs) are more than 100 m high and the wave energy has pierced the rocks, creating several blowholes. If the conditions are right, the splashes are forced up the cliffs and reach the daylight, rising up to 20 m high. There are several more blowholes in this area.
Torndirrup Blowholes
Here sea waves create fountains as they hit the crevasses in the granite.

A blowhole that sometimes gushes a fountain of mist and water. Then the rock whistles and whooshes. Aborigines called this place – Whining Rock – after an abandoned woman who was crying here.
Quobba Blowholes
Wonderful sight – a group of some 30 blowholes. Water jets are beating up to 30 m high and even higher.

Cape Bridgewater Blowholes
Group of comparatively smaller blowholes at the base of lookout. Blowholes are more interesting at high waves.

Suplado – “natural jacuzzi” in Curacao
