As Mullows have stated

End of Dolphin and Rosemary will cutt the trips almost in half. And see pasted from Karratha visitors centre:

 

Camping in WA’s Dampier Archipelago is permitted within 100 metres of the high-water mark on the following beaches that are zoned for recreation:

  • All beaches on Angel Island, Gidley Island and Collier Rocks.
  • All the beaches on Dolphin Island, except on the south eastern side.
  • All the beaches on Enderby Island, except those on the far east and west of the island.
  • Norbill Bay, Chookie Bay and the two most eastern beaches of Rosemary Island.
  • Marney Bay, the most northern beach of Malus Island.
  • The south-facing beach of Goodwyn Island.
  • The south-east facing beach of Eaglehawk Island.
  • The eastern beach of Hauy Island.
  • The southern tip of Delambre Island, up to a distance of 100 metres north on the east or west side.

Hope this helps.

The most northern beach on

The most northern beach on the east side of Dolphin is a beautiful beach  and with the westerlies still blowing would be my pick of the palces to base myself out of.

I see this is an old thread, however, just wondering if anyone knows if all the islands are subject to the tides in dampier or if any of them has a side that doesn't have such an extreme tide?
