The Turn off from the highway to Coral
Bay. It is the first turn off after Manilya Roadhouse. Petrol prices at
Coral Bay is more than at the roadhouse but you can wait a long time to be
served at the roadhouse. |
The Caravan Park at Coral Bay. Very
popular as it is the only one there. Usually late arrivals from about 4pm
onwards cannot get in and are told to go to Mauds Landing to camp for the
night. Of course you then have a Ranger that comes along to fine you for
camping. I wonder if it is a deal between the two of them. |
Opposite the Caravan Park is the beach
where you can launch your boat. This section is not safe to lie on the
beach as you may get run over by the heavy traffic. |
Another view of the beach. To lie on
the beach the safest section is to the left of here as vehicle access is
not allowed. |
Most people launch their boats to go
fishing or pleasure cruising around the bays in the area. The sea in this
region is very calm. Sharks are plentiful as conditions are ideal for
plenty food. |
Available for the tourist is a glass
bottom boat cruise where you can look at all the wonderful sights of the
underwater world without having to get yourself wet. |
