Places to see

What are the must-see attractions while staying in Exmouth?

With its spectacular beauty and breathtaking snorkelling and diving celebrated worldwide, it's no wonder why Ningaloo is considered to be one of the planet's most significant coral reefs and underwater ecosystems.

Stretching 300 km from just north of Carnarvon to the Murion Islands off the coast of Exmouth, Ningaloo Reef is perhaps best known for playing host to an annual Whale Shark migration. Be sure to time your visit between late March and early August, and take one of the many tours that allow you to swim with these incredible creatures.

Yet Exmouth is not just about the water. Just 36 km from Exmouth, the magnificent Cape Range National Park borders the Ningaloo Marine Park and is well worth a visit, showcasing ancient river valleys, steep rocky gorges and a narrow coastal plain. Take a boat tour up Yardie Creek, swim at the unbelievably clear waters of Turquoise Bay or walk the Badjirrajirra Loop Trail. 

Fancy something spectacular slightly closer to town? Why not dive the Exmouth Navy Pier? Rated as one of the world's top shore dives, you'll see more fish than you ever thought possible. Booking a dive tour for access here is essential, as the pier is still actively operated by the Navy. 

Although the Exmouth area (and Western Australia in general) is extremely beautiful, ocean conditions and land temperatures can change rapidly, often without warning. Always read the signs, check local guides, let people know where you are going and an estimated time of return. If you're bushwalking, be sure to take a personal locator beacon (PLB).
