Sue's Groyne is a gentle shore entry site in Western Australia that suits beginners well, with easy shallow waters reaching just 2 to 6 metres. Visibility ranges from 3 to 15 metres depending on conditions, so you can often see clearly across the sandy bottom and any structure nearby. Current is mild, though be aware of surge, which can push you around unexpectedly in the shallows. The marine life here rewards patient, slow exploration. Keep your eyes low for seahorses, octopus, and cuttlefish, and look out for crayfish tucked into crevices. Fan bellied leatherjackets, globefish, ribbon catfish, and King George whiting are also regularly spotted.
