8 Best and Fun Things To Do In Exmouth, Australia


TouristWire Editors

Western Australia is home to many hidden gems, and this modest resort town is definitely one of them.

It’s best known as the gateway to the Ningaloo Marine Park with its coral reefs, abundance of fish, and the occasional whale shark.

To take advantage of all there is to see here, hire some snorkel gear from the Exmouth Visitor Center on your way into town, then drive along the coast until you arrive at Turquoise Bay. Once there, hit the water to experience the unique ecosystem that lies beneath the waves.

If the water isn’t for you, head to the Cape Range National Park where you can catch a glimpse of some of the local wildlife.

There are also plenty of eateries here – many of which specialize in seafood, particularly prawns.
