Named Coral Bay due to the beautiful coral gardens which lie just metres from the pristine white sandy beach, this tiny, laidback seaside location is a must-visit destination for nature lovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coral Bay is about water. Whether you&#8217;re<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>swimming with the local&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.australiascoralcoast.com\/destination\/swim-manta-rays\" target=\"_blank\">Manta Rays<\/a>, Whale Sharks, Turtles&nbsp;or Humpback Whales&nbsp;<\/li><li>quad bike trekking to secret beaches for drift snorkelling<\/li><li>overnight-cruising on the bay looking for wildlife<\/li><li>chartering a fishing boat for bottom-fishing or deep-sea fishing<\/li><li>learning to dive the pristine Ningaloo Marine Park<\/li><li>flying high over the Reef on a scenic flight<\/li><li>enjoy a meal and beer at Bill&#8217;s alfresco bar<\/li><li>seeing the coral gardens without getting wet, onboard a glass-bottom boat<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s not hard to fall&nbsp;in love with Coral Bay!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coral Bay is as idyllic as the name suggests. There, on white sand beaches, you&#8217;re just a few steps from the world&#8217;s largest fringing reef &#8211; the World Heritage listed Ningaloo Reef. Dive, snorkel or fish in clear turquoise waters and immerse yourself in marine life encounters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This tiny seaside town is blessed with beach weather for most of the year, and you can get there in half a day from Perth. A two and a half hour flight gets you to Learmonth Airport, then it&#8217;s just a one and a half-hour drive to Coral Bay. Taking it a little slower, you can drive there in two days or join an extended guided tour from Perth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the southern end of Ningaloo&#8217;s 5,000 square kilometres of diverse reef habitats, laid-back Coral Bay lets you explore its wonders at your own pace. You can even stay dry and view the coral gardens from a glass-bottom boat, or just laze on the beach with a book. But there&#8217;s plenty of adventure to be found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s one of few places on Earth where you can come face-to-fin with the biggest fish in the ocean &#8211; the whale shark. These gentle filter-feeding giants can be found off the coast there from March to July every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next on the visitor list are migrating humpback whales, with whale watching tours giving you a front-row seat from June to November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other close encounters of the marine kind can be enjoyed year-round, including spotting or swimming with graceful manta rays, dugongs and turtles. Or take to the skies on a scenic flight and drink in the spectacle from above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ningaloo also boasts the title of Western Australia&#8217;s premier game fishing destination, and Coral Bay&#8217;s fishing charters will put you within striking distance of your dream catch. Emperor, cod, Spanish mackerel and bream are regularly hooked, not to mention hard-fighting tuna, marlin, mahi mahi and sailfish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just a sandy-footed stroll from the beach, the town itself offers a good choice of accommodation, cafes, shops and restaurants. Book early during peak season to secure your piece of paradise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-subtle-pale-blue-background-color has-background\"><tbody><tr><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/listing\/coral-bay-airstrip-western-australia\/\">Nearest Airport<\/a><\/strong><\/td><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/listing\/attractions-in-coral-bay\/\">Attractions<\/a><\/strong><\/td><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/listing\/dining-in-coral-bay\/\">Dining<\/a><\/strong><\/td><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/listing\/accommodation-in-coral-bay\/\">Accommodation<\/a><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2324,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","listing-category":[119],"list-tags":[],"location":[109],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v14.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Coral Bay Western Australia | Country Airstrips Australia<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Coral Bay in Western Australia is blessed with beach weather most of the year.
