Cliff Springs
Cliff Springs is a freshwater spring an hour’s drive outside Karratha. The location can be found on google maps and is a popular spot for swimming in winter and camping in the cooler months. There is a long sandy road adjacent to the water where tall trees provide shade for campers. After the summer rains, Cliff Springs has deep water perfect for swimming. During the dry months, the water gets a little low and swampy. The area is still great for four-wheel driving and camping.

The four-wheel driving is quite easy with a simple water crossing, dirt roads, and several rocky sections. Four-wheel drive is required. Some areas also have poor cellphone reception, so ensure you have packed a spare tire and plenty of water when heading out to explore Karratha.
There are no facilities in the area so please make sure to take all of your trash with you and leave the place as you have found it. Check out more answers here.
