Things to see and do on

WA's Coral Coast 

The Coral Coast of WA (Western Australia) offers an abundance of things to see and do for lovers of the great outdoors. The adventure begins at the mysterious and ancient Pinnacles, near Cervantes in the south, and culminates with the awe-inspiring Ningaloo Reef and pristine white beaches of Exmouth in the north. Along the way, you’ll enjoy a host of memorable holiday experiences.

Covering approximately 1,270 kilometres of coastline, there are many secluded white sandy beaches on the Coral Coast of WA where you’ll find some amazing things to see and do. Take a relaxing stroll and swim, or experience the adrenalin rush of surfing, fishing and diving. There’s even the chance to snorkel with the world’s largest fish, the majestic whale shark, and feed the friendly Monkey Mia dolphins.

It’s no wonder the region features some of Western Australia's favourite family holiday destinations, such as Kalbarri and Coral Bay. Many visitors are also discovering the stunning natural wonders of Shark Bay World Heritage Area and the coastal towns of Jurien Bay, Geraldton and Carnarvon to name a few.
