Western Australia's Coral Coast Region exists as a microcosm of everything that is rare, beautiful and special on our planet. An area of world-heritage significance, the area abounds with Australian wildflowers and wildlife. A place where you can interact with wild dolphins, snorkel on the largest fringing reef in the world just metres from the beaches, swim with Whale Sharks or explore rugged outback gorges and rivers. If you are looking for the ultimate eco-tourism experience this is the place to be. Major urban development is forbidden in this coastal region, leaving you free to interact with nature as it was always meant to be.
The destinations listed on this page are in alphabetical order. Each destination has its own unique attractions and lifestyle, so for the best perspective, take time to explore all areas.
