Coral Bay Suburb Profile

Coral Bay is a tiny reef-side village perched on Ningaloo's edge, where the snorkelling begins three minutes from your tent. Visitors rave about rolling out of bed and straight into crystalline water teeming with whale sharks, manta rays, turtles, and reef fish in dense coral gardens. It is remote, expensive, and entirely car dependent, but those who make the long drive north from Perth almost universally agree it is worth every kilometre.

Property prices sit at a median of $1.25M and rent of $380/week, which is 23% above the Perth metro median. Crime rates are well below average, and the 82/100 safety score sits 30 points above the metro mean of 52, with low rates of both property crime and violent offences. At a median age of 33, the suburb has a younger-than-average profile and household income of $1,166/week.
