Inside tip · Exmouth & Ningaloo

At Ningaloo spots like Lakeside, how do you reach the coral?

Answer: Swim from the beach

Just walk in from the shore. Sites like Turquoise Bay, Lakeside and Oyster Stacks are snorkelled straight from the beach.

The Oyster Stacks, five islets on the reef, are only reachable at high tide. Cyclone Narelle damaged some Ningaloo Coast campgrounds, so check park alerts before you go.
