Can I fish the One Mile Jetty?

No. The jetty was destroyed in Cyclone Seroja in 2021 and the current restoration project is a heritage boardwalk of around 200 metres at the original width — it does not reach fishable water. A buoy marks the original end roughly 1,450 metres offshore. Town Beach jetty and the Fascine are the working land-based options now.

Is Quobba safe to fish?

Treated with respect, yes. Treated casually, no — the cliffs have a long history of fatalities. Fish with a partner, wear a life jacket, watch the sets for several minutes before committing to a low ledge, and accept that some days are not fishable. The reward is one of the best wild rock fisheries in WA.

Are there crocodiles in Carnarvon?

No. Saltwater crocodile range in WA starts north of here, around Onslow and into the Pilbara and Kimberley. Sharks are the relevant predator at Quobba and along the beaches.

Does the West Coast demersal closure apply?

No — Carnarvon is in the Gascoyne Coast Bioregion. The closure that runs from Augusta to Kalbarri stops at Kalbarri. Gascoyne demersal rules apply here, with a 5-fish mixed demersal bag and emperors capped at 3 per day. Verify current DPIRD rules before a trip.
