We left Exmouth about 9am and drove the 155kms to Coral Bay down the coast. It is still in the Ningaloo Marine Reserve and is basically a holiday town.
From April to the mid October the place is packed and the 2 caravan parks can't keep up with the tourists. It has a lovely beach which was sheltered from the wind and you could swim 100mtrs to snorkel the coral reef or go out in one of the many boats that take you out to the outer reef.

The snorkelling off the beach here was not any where near as good as the National Park but I will never let an opportunity go when it is so accessible and it was a warm day as well.

We enjoyed lying in the shade until this fellow decided to come and visit! Its a sand goanna, he was about 2 metres long and was only a metre away, he just sat there and seemed to enjoy being photographed. Once we got over the shock we enjoyed watching him!
