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
Ancient cave fauna
Spectacular contrasts between rugged land and vibrant reef
