The Shark Bay exhibit is divided into four distinct sections.
The main section is the Shark Lagoon.
It houses some of the world's largest, most feared and potentially dangerous sharks.
Unlike other smaller shark exhibits, the Shark Lagoon at Shark Bay allows for the sharks to have a 60-metre (200 ft) swimming pattern which is essential for them to be able to rest whilst swimming.
As the name suggests, the Reef Lagoon is a reef-themed environment.
It houses a variety of smaller sharks alongside rays and other fish.
Guests can view both the Shark Lagoon and Reef Lagoon from a series above ground viewing areas as well as through four 10-by-3-metre (32.8 ft × 9.8 ft) underwater viewing windows.
An additional window of this size separates the two sections and allows divers in the Reef Lagoon to view the sharks in the Shark Lagoon.
The Inter-Tidal Zone is attached to the Reef Lagoon and is adjacent to the Touch Pools.
The area is home to a variety of small fish and other marine life.
The final zone is the Touch Pools.
Within this section, guests are able to touch a variety of marine animals in the shallow water.
Collectively, these areas make Shark Bay the largest man-made lagoon system in the world.
