Exmouth and Coral Bay


We have just spent three nights (Friday 7th to Sunday 9th September) in Exmouth, which is way out on a peninsular on the WA coast. Half of the point is National Park, with pristine beaches of Turquoise blue. Not far from the shore of the beach (4-5 metres) and you can see so many different types of tropical fish swimming amongst the coral reef. 

We stayed in a caravan park near the Vlamingh Lighthouse lookout (thanks to Sarah and Paul for the recommendation) we have seen whales from the lookout and seen many emus in the wild.

 Today we arrived in Coral Bay, we snorkelled with Schnapper, Manta Rays and various other fish. You don't even need to snorkel as you walk along the waterline at the beach the fish come up to look at you. Fish-feeding at 3.30 was a frenzy of people and fish, you stand in knee deep water and the fish swim through your legs.

Tomorow we are going on a glass bottom boat tour to check out the reef from a bit further out.
