Welcome to
Australia's Coral Coast
A place where coastal wonders meet ancient landscapes and the open road beckons you to adventure.
Where gentle marine giants (whale sharks, humpback whales and manta rays) invite you to cruise alongside them in their underwater paradise. Where pristine islands, spectacular rock formations and arid outback landscapes create a kaleidoscope of colour like nowhere else on earth. Wander ancient tracks to relive thousands of years of aboriginal history through the eyes and culture of our traditional owners. Feel the sand beneath your toes on endless white beaches and lose yourself admist ancient gorges, dazzling carpets of colourful wildflowers and untouched coral reefs teeming with marine life.
Stretching along 1,100km of breathtaking coastline from Cervantes, two hours north of Perth, Western Australia, to the World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Reef, you'll find some of the best known and most loved attractions in Australia from the Pinnacles, a bubble-gum Pink Lake, Kalbarri National Park and Shark Bay World Heritage Area to Monkey Mia and the mesmerising Ningaloo Reef. Australia's Coral Coast is a boundless marine wonderland with open skies and otherworldly landscapes tied together by the Coral Coast Highway - one of the greatest road trips on earth.
