This beach is incredible It has lovely white sand and you can walk out on the sand bar There are beautiful local fish that are rather inquisitive and if you’re lucky you might see a sea turtle Definitely worth the drive

WA you do not disappoint. Blessed is how we feel to have spent 7 nights here in the Ningaloo area. We took the advice to 'wanderoutyonder' and we are so glad we chose Coral Bay as our base. This place is beautiful. It was an epic road trip from Perth but worth every km! It is pristine, the beach is spectacular and safe. The marine life is abundant, if you could say there was a heaven here on earth this could be the place. Come here, leave only footprints and take hundreds of photos. Thank you!
3. Shark Bay

Shark Bay - We left Billabong Roadhouse and drove on up the Highway until we reached the turn off for Shark Bay, known to the local Malgana people as Gutharraguda, meaning two bays. It is a World Heritage listed site for its beauty and abundant prehistoric life forms, evolution in action and wildlife refuges. It is made up of the Francois Peron National Park, the Shark Bay Marine Park and Hamelin Pool Marine Nature Reserve. Nearby is Shell Beach, a Discovery Centre, Eagle Bluff and a Discovery Trail - this is a great place for families - all the above is free and you get to see some amazing things and learn a little too. It is a sleepy little place but well worth driving from attraction to attraction over a couple of days.
4. Ocean Park Aquarium

Watch the raw fury of sharks feeding from the safety of our observation decks by joining a guided tour of the park with a marine scientist, or relax with never ending ocean views at Ocean Park Cafe. We are famous for our fine quality coffee, delicious cake and fresh seafood meals!

Had the awesome experience to witness the marine life within the aquarium, we had Josh as our guide who was super friendly, extremely knowledgeable and his passion about the marine life made learning about the creatures even more easier and having experienced the shark feeding was the highlight of the tour. After our tour we had a very tasty lunch on the boardwalk overlooking the ocean/bay. Would highly recommend visiting the place.

Spectacular, safe snorkelling right at the ocean edge!! What a beautiful little piece of paradise this is - even when it is jam packed with travellers!! A great place for families with a perfectly safe beach for the little ones, plenty of colourful marine life easily accessible for everyone, awesome fishing and a great little bakery. It's a YES from me!! Can't wait for next year's return trip!

Many a happy hour was spent here by our entire family. Interactive exhibits, interesting video's, loads and loads of really fascinating pieces of Australian space history. Really a fantastic stopping point for anyone travelling the West Coast. I sincerely recommend that everyone take advantage of this marvellous museum, it is truly interesting, has a great little souvenir shop, and a comfy seated area with free tea and coffee for those who need to rest for a few minutes.
9. Carnarvon Blowholes
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 324 reviews
Reviewed By weetbex - Perth, Australia
Also known as the Quobba Blowholes, this attraction is well worth the detour from the main road if you are travelling between Carnarvon and Shark Bay. We went a few hours before high tide and found the blowholes to be very active with the big waves crashing into the coves fascinating to watch. Make sure you wear shoes with good grip and if taking photos, have someone watch the waves and let you know when a big one is coming - so you can get ready to shoot or get out of the way quick smart. Tip: If you are patient, you can get some great photos of the "King Waves Kill" sign with a blowhole in action in the background (to the right of the sign). There are toilets further down the road from the blowholes if you need them - and a basic campground for those who wish to stay the night.
10. Yardie Creek
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 360 reviews
Reviewed By Ozwhites - Perth, Australia
The Yardie creek walk is a medium difficulty walk, shoes a good idea and great canyon views are provided. I followed up with a SUP paddle up the creek despite the initial headwind it was a good 3km paddle with amazing views from below and lots of rock wallabies on the sides of the canyon that you cannot see from above, hard work in a breeze but worth it, you can also kayak.
