Coral Bay is a small coastal settlement located 1,200 kilometres north of Perth, in the Shire of Carnarvon in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia. Bordered by the Ningaloo Reef, it is a popular tourist destination and largely owes its survival to revenue derived from wildlife tourism. Coral Bay is a unique location in that the reef fringes the water's edge, making it easily accessible for snorkellers. The climate is arid, and waters are generally warm year-round due to the subtropical nature of the area. The 2016 census recorded a population of 207.
