Turquoise Coast is a name attributed to a section of the coastline of Western Australia in the vicinity of Jurien Bay.[1]

It lies south of Batavia Coast and north of the Sunset Coast.

The area contains the Turquoise Coast islands nature reserve group, a chain of 40 islands spread over a distance of 150 kilometres (93 mi).[2]

Islands in the reserve include Beagle Islands, Cervantes Islands, Escape Island, Edwards Island, Lancelin Island, Wedge Island, Whitlock Island and Favorite Island.[2]
