Tourist dies after being swept off rocks at Indijup Natural Spa

The man, aged in his twenties, was swept into the sea at Indijup Natural Spa just after midday yesterday.

He could not be revived

Western Australian Police told nine.com.au the man’s death is not being treated as suspicious and a report will be prepared for the coroner.

Acting South West Superintendent Andy Elliott told the ABC the man had “limited swimming skills” and attempts to get flotation devices to him were unsuccessful.

Indijup Natural Spa is a popular tourist attraction in the region, with visitors often taking photos while standing on the rocks.

The death is at least the third in the past decade.

In October 2020, a 23-year-old woman died after being swept off rocks into the water as her friends’ rescue efforts failed.

Four years earlier, 25-year-old Matthias Bache disappeared after jumping off rocks into the ocean at the tourist attraction.

Since then, warning signs have been posted highlighting the dangers of walking along the rocks.
