Located at the southern gateway to the Ningaloo Coast World Heritage Area and adjacent to Ningaloo Marine Park, the Quobba Coast offers spectacular scenery showcasing rugged cliffs, white sandy beaches and the world class surf break at Red Bluff. Surfing, fishing, swimming, snorkelling and endless wildlife are just some of the many activities to enjoy in this remote area.
For those looking for somewhere a little more protected from the large swells, the crystal clear waters of Gnarraloo Bay are located a further 33km to the north.
Accommodation is available at Red Bluff. Please be aware camping outside of these areas is not permitted.
Be aware of dangerous swell conditions and strong currents that can occur along the Quobba coast. The area is remote and best suited to those with experience of these conditions. Visitors need to be aware of their safety at all times. Check conditions carefully before entering the water. If in doubt, don’t go out.
- Private, unlicensed all-terrain vehicles/quad bikes (ATVs) and other off-road vehicles are not permitted in the reserve.
- Dogs are permitted in designated areas only. Where dogs are permitted, they must be kept on a leash at all times.
- There is no drinking water available within the reserve. Make sure you carry enough water for drinking and washing for the duration of your visit.
