Most mornings between 7:00am and mid-day, four females and their offspring visit the beach to receive fish from The Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM) rangers. Visitors to Monkey Mia are able to enter the shallows and assist in the feeding under the supervision of the rangers. Along with the dolphins, pelicans also turn up daily for a free meal.

Monkey Mia is in the heart of Shark Bay World Heritage area, about 36 km from Denham Western Australia.
