Reviewed By Teensparkles - Carnarvon, Australia

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

Ningaloo Coast World Heritage Area

Reviewed By BDOGNUTZ - Secret Harbour, Australia

Heaps to do at the Ningaloo Coast area , from snorkelling and its just meters off sure , unlike the coral reef in Qland, thoroughly enjoyed Lakeside to do this , just be aware of the good 500m to 700m walk to the prime location to the left . Plenty of fishing , swimming with wale sharks and than you have the canyon . To do sight seeing , hiking and climbing . Will be back . Pretty busy joint even in this COVID times.

Sandy Bay

Reviewed By Finlay122 - Perth, Australia

This is a stunning beach, and as it is not really a great snorkelling spot it is usually pretty quiet. The shallow waters within the bay make it easy to swim and cool off. We snorkelled at Turquoise Bay and then retreated to this beach for a picnic and some peace and quiet.

Charles Knife Canyon

Reviewed By Susannewaoz - Perth, Australia

Loved the majestic valleys. Took so many photos. This would be a hikers delight but take 3 litres of water and sunscreen. There is no shade unless you climb under a bush. One feels on top of the world. From Thomas Carter lookout one can see the Indian Ocean and the Exmouth Gulf

Navy Pier Exmouth

Reviewed By 78keithd - Buffalo Grove, United States

Was not sure what to expect but it was a great dive experience. The dive masters were awesome and really explained the whole area extremely well. The dive gave us a bunch of sharks and great diversity of fish and small sea life. Would absolutely do this dive again.

Yardie Creek

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.

Shothole Canyon

Reviewed By AntonNoles - Robe, Australia

Had a drive from Exmouth whilst Caravanning and so glad we took the time to do so. The views from a creek bed winding about 9ks into a Canyon was a wonderful start to the day

Mandu Mandu Gorge

Reviewed By Finlay122 - Perth, Australia

If you enjoy a walk then I would recommend this over Yardie Creek - the Yardie walk provides a lovely view, but is a short and busy walk. Mandu Mandu was an unexpected and pleasant surprise. There are a couple of steep, scrabbly inclines and declines, but it is manageable for most people. We did not have a 4WD and our little Swift made it up the access road.

Osprey Bay

Reviewed By Dazznat - Innaloo, Australia

Our family had two nights at the Osprey campground. You need to be self sufficient with water and power however there is a new ablution block for toilets only. The department of lands has done a fantastic job with developing this site which allows for plenty of space in well designed hard stand plots. Being close to the reef and nature bush it really gave a first class experience of our natural bush beauty, will certainly go back
