Five Fingers Reef

Five Fingers Reef is about 4.5 kilometers south of Coral Bay and is reachable by four-wheel drive vehicle or a short walk. Super low-lying coral formations that you can drift snorkel in picturesque Coral Bay; just watch your fins because the coral is very shallow!

The five parallel reef fingers extend from the beach to about 200 meters offshore. Home to a plethora of colorful reef fish and other marine life, including turtles, which are abundant here. In fact, Five Fingers Reef is arguably the best spot near Coral Bay for swimming with turtles on the Ningaloo Reef. As the water around the reefs here is shallow, calm and brimming with marine life right close to shore, Five Fingers Reef is the perfect place for children and beginner snorkellers.

What you'll see: There are many sea turtles hiding among the soft and hard corals on this coral reef. There are also plenty of eels, crabs, and shrimp hiding among the coral. The strong current also attracts larger pelagic fish, and if you look out into the blue, you might see a couple of rays swimming around.
