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

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.

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.

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.

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!
7. The Coral Bay Shark Nursery

Reviewed By Inspiration129010
This is a protected sanctuary for the sharks, meaning when the tide is high and the wind low you can sit on the dunes or stand on the beach and see the baby sharks in their natural habitat. It’s important to stay out of the water to protect the sharks by zero impact to their natural habits as well as making sure they don’t have close encounters with their biggest predator - humans. There’s a plaque that explains it all so best to have a read and respect the distance that the sharks need to thrive best. Sitting on the dunes and watching the sharks swim comfortably about is so relaxing and such a privilege. On the walk you’ll spot some tata lizards and some spotted lagoon rays too. Keep an eye out for snakes if you’re walking near the dunes.

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

Peaceful and pristine, a perfect spot to go with kids. We taught our young one how to use a fishing rod and even caught a small fish! It was lovely to set up the 4WD on the sand, pull out the awning and spend the afternoon playing in the water and on the sand. There are amenities there too. A lovely sunset marked the end of a relaxing day spent at the lagoon. You won’t regret a visit to this lagoon :)

Town beach is just on the edge of the town centre and a good place for a quick dip. There are other beaches nicer but none are as close! There is a nice picnic area with undercover seating, all surrounded by lawn. Beware of the dingoes as they hang around and can be vicious to small dogs.
