Welcome to Exmouth

A popular spot for sports fishermen, seeking catches usually only dreamed about. Swimming with Whale Sharks is also a famed attraction as well as Snorkelling and diving the offshore reef.

Exmouth is situated in the most northern area of Australia's Coral Coast tourist region. Exmouth faces east to the Timor Sea, uniquely possible due to the town's location on the North West Cape. The Ningaloo Coral Reef is offshore to the north of Exmouth. One of the best ways to get to Exmouth is with Integrity Coach Lines or to hire a car from Perth Airport, or flying to Learmonth (Exmouth) airport.

THINGS TO SEE IN EXMOUTH

HERE ARE A FEW OF OUR FAVOURITE LOCAL ATTRACTIONS

Whale Shark

Found in the Ningaloo Marine Park is the world's largest fish. From March through to June, dive in with these harmless sharks that feed only on Plankton and small fish. Ningaloo Reef is the only place in the world where the sharks appear in such great numbers and in such shallow waters. Explore whale shark tours with WA Holiday Guide.

Ningaloo Coral Reef

Western Australia's largest coral reef, home to over 250 species of coral and 540 species of fish. Larger mammals are also in abundance, from Dolphins, Manta Rays, Cod and Sharks. Long, white, sandy beaches typify the coastline fringing the reef and is an attraction not to be missed. Explore the Ningaloo Coral Reef with Exmouth Boat & Kayak Hire.

Cape Range National Park

Day tours to the national park offer an interesting adventure as you explore deserted beaches, rocky gullys and streams that wind their way across the Australian Outback.

Game Fishing

One of the most popular pursuits around Exmouth is the marvellous fishing. The tropical waters provide exeptional fishing for anglers either trying their luck from the shore or dropping lines from a boat. Bag Limits apply and you are going to catch bigger fish than you ever dreamed about.

What's the weather like?

Exmouth has a tropical climate with no distinct 'wet season,' as rainfall occurs year-round. The weather is generally warm. In summer (Dec-Feb), the average max temperature is 37°C, with a minimum of 20°C. In winter (Jun-Aug), the average max is 24°C, and the minimum is 11°C. Tropical Cyclones are common from December to April, so safety procedures are essential.

A bit of Exmouth's history

Exmouth was charted by the Dutch in the 1600s, but no official settlement occurred until May 1963, when the US and Australian governments established the Harold E. Holt US Naval Communication Station at North West Cape. The Naval station opened on September 16, 1967. The town’s population peaked at 4,300 in the late 1960s but is now less than 3,000.
