The spot is called Barred Creek for obvious reasons.
This was filmed on a very high tide. Since we have ten meter tides, the whole volume of the creek would have emptied six hours later so you could walk from one side to the other. The rock bar is actually the remains of a petrified forest.
Many years ago, I caught a 20 lb Bluefin Tuna inside the creek fishing from the shore with a floating balloon rig.
Every year around this time, the sailfish come right in close to the shore here. I would like to catch one from a kayak.

That is beautiful country. How far offshore is the good 'Blue Water' typically?

Believe it or not, this is a somewhat complicated question.
Well first lets look at the "BIG" picture. 160NM west we have the Rowley Shoals fringing the continual shelf which cuts into the coastline at Exmouth some 20000 kilometres south. So westward West of Broome is a vast underwater plateau which is basically a shallow sponge environment ideal for the giant pearl shell which proliferate in these waters. Hence the town's famous cultured pearl industry and my former occupation as a pearl diver.
However, closer to home we have a unique geographical feature called the Roebuck Deep which is basically a 100 meter deep trench running parallel to the immediate coastline less than a kilometre off shore. It is about 5 miles long and a mile wide.
"Bluewater" varies greatly depending upon the season. The winter easterlies knock down the onshore swell creating calm water with good visibility close inshore. However this scenario is reversed with the summer onshore winds when you may have to travel 20 NM offshore to find clear bluewater on the 30 meter chart line.
Wow, absolutely beautiful. I could spend a month in that one spot. I wonder if the filming was done with a drone of some kind? If so the operator has some mad skills. Thanks for sharing this. Now I'm gonna need to get my beach permit for LI NY. This gave me the bug.

Yes, you can see the shadow in the clip. It certainly is an inspiring video.
