After our interesting experience at Gnaraloo we arrived late in Coral Bay and set up in the dark. Luckily we have the set-up down pat and we quickly settled for the night. I made Sharyn one of my nice coffees, brewed on the stove top with real coffee(not instant) and topped with heated frothed milk and sprinkled chocolate. Then I lit the big citronella bucket and we sat around this and drank our coffee; how romantic am I?
The next day we walked on the beautiful beach, with crystal clear water and big queen snappers following us! They supposedly feed them daily but this didn't happen while we were there. We did see a guy walk over with some bait and feed them so his partner could take some photos, a bit like the dolphin feeding at Monkey Mia on a tiny scale. We returned afterwards with our snorkelling gear and the kids had their first real snorkel in the ocean. Despite being near the end of Ningaloo Reef, we thought it was great. It dropped off quickly and straight away you were swimming above heaps of tropical fish. There was a gentle drift that carried you towards the sheltered bay so we got out and went back to the start and did it again. Once again people had told us not to worry about coming to Coral Bay because there was nothing there and the reef was better further up but we found it to be a great spot for the kids to have their first snorkel and it was all walking distance from the caravan park. Luckily we did our groceries in Carnarvon as the prices here were very expensive.
