The Bartle Memorial has some social significance as a memorial to a tragic event. It is prominently located on a scenic headland.
The Bartle Memorial is a granite cairn with a plaque attached situated on the promontory at the North Head of Jurien Bay. Severe wind erosion is gradually undermining the memorial.
The Bartle Memorial was erected in 1968 by the Council of Underwater Activities of Western Australia. It was built in memory of Robert Murray Bartle, a 23 year old skin diver who was killed by a shark in the near vicinity in 1967. 35 square metres of land was reserved for the memorial.
