Coral Coast Information

In the Coral Coast region you will find a treasure trove of beaches, exotic marine life, national reserves and the bluest ocean world. You can swim with whalesharks, snorkel from the beach to the stunning Ningaloo Reef, meet the dolphins of Monkey Mia, and take in the unique rock formations of the Pinnacles. There are many water sports here from world class windsurfing at Geraldton to Ningaloo diving that rivals the Great Barrier Reef. Western Australia’s first World Heritage site – Shark Bay, is most famous for its smiling dolphins that come right into shore at Monkey Mia. The more secluded parts of this stunning peninsular are home to other incredible wildlife like manta rays, turtles, and dugongs.

Locals love the small seaside settlement at the southern end of the Ningaloo coast called Coral Bay. Get away from things and relax, stay within metres of a beautiful beach and calm waters for safe snorkelling and swimming. The carefully preserved Ningaloo Marine Park is a magical marine experience. You will have an unforgettable diving and snorkelling experience with the untouched coral, amazing range of sea life and excellent visibility. From the secluded islands to the rugged red gorges, there are endless boat and beach fishing spots along the Coral Coast region coast which is the hub of Western Australia’s crayfishing industry.

From Geraldton, fly or cruise to the Abrolhos Islands, here you’ll find secluded beaches, sheltered snorkelling waters, and fascinating history. If you travel inland you can see the desert-scape of Nambung National Park, which is home to the strange limestone pillars called the Pinnacles. One of the state’s most magnificent and accessible national parks is Kalbarri. It has steep gorges, carved out of the rugged red terrain over millions of years, providing amazing trekking and awesome scenery to capture on film.
