To discover the real charm of a country town in Australia’s Coral Coast, spend a while at the pub – it’s where the beer is cold, yarns are spun and history begins.
You’ll find watering holes right along the coast – they’re as refreshing as a dip in the ocean!

For a classic fishing tale about the one that got away, pull up a barstool at Exmouth’s Potshot Hotel. The pub was built in the 1960s for the hundreds of American navy officers at the RAAF base. These days it’s a popular spot for locals after a day at sea.
The Potshot has a lively history – in 1999 it took a direct hit from Cyclone Vance. True to the town’s pioneering spirit, the Potshot was renovated with a new bar, named Vance after the cyclone. Resort style rooms were also added.
The award for best regional hotel/pub in 2005 went to the Freemasons Hotel in Geraldton.
The Freo is famous for its iconic spire, which was removed after the Meckering earthquake in the 1960s and then rebuilt. With 16 different beers on tap and local seafood on the menu, the Freo is a popular place for surfers, fishermen, miners, locals and visitors.
Accommodation is upstairs with rooms opening on to a traditional wide verandah.
Carnarvon’s Port Hotel is right in the centre of town. The bar fronts the main street and is popular with faithful regulars from all walks of life.
The recently refurbished Fish and Whistle Backpacker and Motel offers good quality, budget accommodation.
