Gnaraloo Coast

Located toward the southern reaches of the Nyinggulu Coastal Reserve, visitors can enjoy the remote wilderness and explore the spectacular Ningaloo Marine Park . The Gnaraloo coast is the ultimate destination for those who like high energy water sports. Tombstones is famous for the numerous breaks that provide year-round board riding opportunities, whether it is surfing, kiteboarding or windsurfing. In contrast, Gnaraloo Bay and 3 Mile Lagoon offer gentle relief from the rugged wild waters found elsewhere along the coast. Here you can relax in the sheltered waters of the bay and enjoy the pristine coral gardens directly in front of you.

Keep an eye out for the abundance of wildlife including turtles, sharks, whales and a large variety of fish.

Accommodation and camping is available at 3 Mile Camp and Gnaraloo Homestead. For more information visit Gnaraloo. Camping is not permitted outside of these areas.
