Mangles Bay (Western Australia)

Mangles Bay (Western Australia)

Mangles Bay (coord|32|16|S|115|43|E|) is a bay of Cockburn Sound in Western Australia. The town of Rockingham is on its coast, and the causeway to Garden Island runs along its southern edge.

The bay's seabed consists of the Mangles Bay shallows, which is covered in seagrass meadows; and the Mangles Bay deep basin, a much deeper area slightly to the north.

Mangles Bay is a popular recreation area. It is used for fishing, water sports such as sailing, water skiing, boating and swimming.
