Just 22 kilometres off the coast lie the Mackerel Islands – 10 castaway islands blessed with pristine white sand beaches, coral gardens rich in marine life and some of the best fishing in Australia. Charter a boat or light aircraft and spend a full day diving, snorkelling and fishing. Stay overnight at the resort or beach cabins on Thevenard Island, or play castaway on your own private island with a stay at Direction Island. Return to Onslow and try your luck at hooking dinner from Sunrise and Sunset beaches, Four Mile Creek, the Ashburton River or Beadon Creek. Or, take a late afternoon walk along the Onslow Boardwalk and watch a Pilbara coast sunset.
