Coral Bay

A rite of passage for anyone who has ever lived or holidayed in Western Australia. Just about the whole of Perth heads north to escape the (mildly) cold winter, whilst the Northern parts of WA head south to escape the scorching heat of early summer. Coral bay is reknown for its easy access to the stunning Ningaloo reef the marine reserve swimming beach is just a skip across from the holiday park.

Unlike many other beach towns, Coral Bay remains refreshingly undeveloped, allowing visitors to experience its natural beauty in an intimate setting. Here, you can snorkel alongside majestic manta rays, turtles, and tropical fish in the world-famous Ningaloo Reef, one of the largest fringing reefs on Earth. What makes Coral Bay truly special is its accessibility—no boat rides needed to explore the underwater wonders, just a short swim from the beach puts you directly above the reef. This small coastal town thrives on a close connection to its environment, offering a laid-back escape where time seems to slow down and nature is always center stage.
