About the Ningaloo Coast

Located 1,260 km north of Perth, Western Australia, the Ningaloo Coast spans Cape Range National Park and Ningaloo Reef, near the town of Exmouth.

This extraordinary place has been home to the Yinigudera and Baiyungu people for over 36,000 years — a saltwater culture deeply connected to this land and sea.

In 2011, the Ningaloo Coast was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, recognised for:

  • Diverse and abundant marine life

  • Spectacular contrasts between rugged land and vibrant reef
