Coral Bay, located at the southern end of Western Australia’s Ningaloo Reef, is a relaxed coastal town known for its easy, walk-in access to fringing coral gardens. At Bill’s Bay, visitors can snorkel straight from the white sandy beach into warm, clear water that remains calm for most of the year, making it popular for families and first-time snorkellers. The area is also well known for manta ray tours, which operate year-round thanks to a resident population nearby. While Coral Bay has a quiet, small-town feel, it can become busy during peak travel periods, so accommodation and tours often need to be booked in advance
