1276 — Lancelin

WA Department of Transport Nautical Chart

Large-scale inshore navigation for reefs, islands, and one of WA’s most popular boating playgrounds.

🚤 Navigate Lancelin with Local Authority Confidence

Chart 1276 — Lancelin is a detailed nautical chart published by the Western Australian Department of Transport to support safe recreational and local commercial boating around Lancelin and its surrounding reefs and islands.

This area is renowned for clear water, shallow reef systems, strong winds, and heavy recreational traffic. The chart delivers the fine-scale detail skippers need where metres matter—approaches, anchorages, reef edges, and near-shore passages.
