Coral coast

EXMOUTH & CORAL COAST

Dive into the wild blue, where reef meets range in spectacular harmony.

Overview
On the Coral Coast, nature puts on a world-class show. From the underwater wonderland of Ningaloo Reef to the deep canyons of Cape Range National Park, Exmouth is the launch point for adventures both above and below the surface. Swim with whale sharks, snorkel coral gardens steps from shore, or hike through gorges where red cliffs meet blue skies.

See and Do

The local favourite
Snorkel at Turquoise Bay, where vibrant coral reefs are just metres from the beach. Drift with the current and spot turtles, reef sharks, and schools of fish.

A scene of pure natural beauty
Drive through Charles Knife Canyon for staggering sunrise views over Cape Range’s rugged landscape. The contrast of desert and sea is breathtaking.

Adventures in nature
Join a guided tour to swim with whale sharks or humpbacks (in season), dive the Navy Pier—one of the world’s best shore dives—or kayak Yardie Creek Gorge among wallabies and mangroves.
