On the North West Cape near Exmouth, Cape Range National Park protects a stark meeting of desert and sea. Limestone ridges and gorges rise behind beaches facing the Ningaloo Coast.
Experiencing Cape Range National Park
Walk through gorges, look for wallabies and birds, then snorkel from beaches where reef life can be remarkably close to shore. Marine excursions on Ningaloo add whale sharks, manta rays and seasonal whales.
Planning your stay
The region deserves several nights because road distances are large and conditions shape each day. It is best treated as a wilderness destination rather than a single reef excursion.
