part of the Nuyts Archipelago Conservation Park
Eyre Island, 2.5km north-west of Cape Missiessy and 8km west of Smoky Bay was named after explorer Edward John Eyre. The island is composed entirely of sand, with no outcropping rocks to be seen. A line of dunes runs parallel to the exposed southern coastline. The dune barrier provides a shelter that has allowed the build-up of fine silts, enabling colonisation by mangroves.
