From limestone deserts to sweeping red canyons, each travel point along the Coral Coast offers a different experience.
The trip usually starts from The Pinnacles Desert, the main icon in Nambung National Park.

Heading north, Jurien Bay offers a gentler atmosphere but still full of charm. This coastal city is famous for its clear waters and calm sea surface, ideal for families and couples who want to enjoy a relaxing day.
