Police searching for a man whose dinghy capsized off the coast of Green Head, north of Perth, have recovered his body.

Police say two men were on board the dinghy when it overturned. 

One of the men was able to reach the shore and alert authorities that the second man was missing in the water.

Authorities launched an air and sea search for the man and the dinghy they were on near Green Head, about 25 kilometres north of Jurien Bay.

The man's body was located by the police helicopter and has since been recovered.

An investigation into the incident is continuing and a report will be prepared for the coroner.
