Coral Bay is a popular holiday spot for West Australians in winter, but many don’t realise how stunning it is in spring and summer, especially outside school holidays.
It’s just down the road (by Western Australian standards) from Exmouth – 152 km to be precise – and well worth the journey. Four-wheel-drivers can take a short cut via Yardie Creek for a day trip. Otherwise there’s plenty of accommodation, but do book ahead.
You can take a catamaran tour over the reef here for spectacular snorkelling, or just float out from the beach. But above all, this is one of the most relaxing places to really get away from it all. Just a short walk from the main beach gets you to some virtually empty bays of soft sand and lapping turquoise water.
Take a look at these holiday snaps on Flickr – these are the kind of pics that make you just long to be there. Taken by real people on a real Coral Bay holiday (in winter), they give you an honest view of the place – no touch-ups or professional tricks in these pics. And I can vouch for the colours being true.
By spring, the temperatures are warming up to a perfect 30 degrees, hovering around 24 degrees in winter and rising to around 37 degrees in the height of summer.
