WA Department of Transport Nautical Chart

High-detail small-bay navigation for exposed Southern Ocean conditions, anchoring, and careful coastal access.

🚤 Navigate Peaceful Bay with Local Authority Confidence

Chart 019 — Peaceful Bay is a detailed nautical chart published by the Western Australian Department of Transport to support safe recreational and local commercial boating around Peaceful Bay.

Despite its name, Peaceful Bay sits on an exposed section of the South Coast, where swell, reefs, and limited shelter demand precise local knowledge. This chart provides the fine-scale detail required for cautious approaches, anchoring decisions, and inshore operations in a challenging coastal environment.
