About Acasta Island

island in Western Australia, Australia

Acasta Island sits off the coast of Western Australia at a low elevation of just 4 metres above sea level, positioned in the remote northern reaches of the state near the coordinates 14°S, 125°E - placing it in the Kimberley region's coastal waters.

This is a small, low-lying island with no shade, no food facilities, and no infrastructure for visitors. The island is essentially a natural, undeveloped feature of the WA coastline.

Getting There and Access

Acasta Island's remote location in northwestern Western Australia means access is by private boat or charter vessel only. The Kimberley coast is renowned for its challenging waters, including significant tidal movements, so anyone planning to navigate to this area should have appropriate seamanship experience and local knowledge, or travel with an experienced charter operator.

Visitor Tips

  • There are no facilities of any kind on the island - no shade, no food, no water, and no toilets
  • Bring all supplies including drinking water, sun protection, and food with you
  • The island sits at just 4 metres elevation, so be aware of tidal conditions and weather
  • Check tide charts and weather forecasts carefully before visiting, particularly given the extreme tidal ranges common along the Kimberley coast
  • Inform someone of your travel plans before heading out to remote coastal locations like this

Given the very limited data available for Acasta Island, travellers seeking more information about visiting this area should contact the Western Australian Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, or consult a local Kimberley charter operator who will have current, on-the-ground knowledge of access and any applicable permits or restrictions.
