Coral Bay is known for the beautiful sandy lagoon that is situated a mere five minutes walk from our accommodation. The beach is very fine white sand and it very gradually gets deeper. This makes it ideal for children and a great family holiday destination. The lagoon itself has very clear blue water which is ideal for swimming. The other great thing about the location is that it is the closest you can get to the Ningaloo coral reef from the shore. This makes it ideal for snorkeling and means you can snorkel from the beach and see some very good hard corals. Actually much of the diving we experienced was inside the reef so snorkeling makes a lot of sense if you visit here. The quality of the snorkeling would rival most places and you can see small sharks, turtles and reef fish.
