Discover more about Australia’s Coral Coast
Boasting not one, but two World Heritage Listed sites, Australia’s Coral Coast is a popular destination for local and out-of-state visitors. Home to the largest fringing reef in the world, the Ningaloo Reef, the region offers travellers a one-of-kind road trip experience through towns such as Geraldton, Kalbarri, Coral Bay and Exmouth.
Visitors to Australia’s Coral Coast can step out of the outback and swim with whale sharks, manta rays, and all manner of marine life with coastal tourism experiences a key offering from local tour operators.
Learn more about Australia’s Coral Coast’s tourism sector through our latest visitor statistics and insights, including fact sheets for key Local Government Areas and Regional Development Commissions.
Following TRA's change to the new DoTS system at the start of 2025 and the release of a full year of data for the regions, the dashboard now shows a regional breakdown for 2025.
Domestic and total spend cannot be reliably reported prior to 2025 and are therefore only shown for 2025. See the Tourism Research Australia website for more info on the methodology change.
The 2024 fact sheets are based on the National Visitor Survey and will be updated shortly with data from DoTS.
