The Coral Coast

Wildflowers, wildlife and white sand beaches.

Stretching over 1,100 kilometres of spectacular coastline from Cervantes to Kalbarri, the Coral Coast is a region of striking contrasts — turquoise waters meet white sand beaches, backed by the red earth of the outback. It’s a haven for marine life, wildflowers, and unforgettable adventures.
