Coral Bay is a marine paradise. Its name says it all, dazzling underwater gardens start just metres from pristine white beaches, the backdrop to a tiny, laid back seaside town.
Just a two hour flight from Perth, Coral Bay is the southern gateway to the world renowned Ningaloo Reef. There are so many ways to explore the reef and all its wonders and with beach weather year round it really is a favourite for travellers young and old.
