Some additional info on Wingys post. These days Warroora,Cardabia and Ningaloo stations all require booking. You cannot just rock up and camp these days and all these places will be really busy during the school holidays. Camping in these places is really cheap but there are no facilities except dump points for chemical toilets which you must have. You have to be totally self contained as in power water and firewood. They are great places. the only one I would avoid is Bruboodjoo on Cardabia commonly known as the nine mile camp as it is pretty much just a salt flat and snorkelling at Coral Bay nine miles away is way better. I have not been to the bottom end of Warroora but I have heard there is some good snorkelling there.
Be aware that most of the time over the last few years Yardie creek has been impassable to vehicles which prevents you driving from Coral Bay to Exmouth along the coast track. I have seen heaps of pics of vehicles drowned in Yardie Creek.
A good place for a snorkel is Turqoise Bay which is a drift snorkel just off the beach but you will not be alone there.
Coral Bay has good snorkelling right in the bay and other nearby spots are five fingers and oyster bridge.
I have been to Coral Bay for the last twelve years and will be there for seven weeks at the end of April so I have seen a bit there. Keeping that in mind I would not recommend scuba diving there unless the swell is right down and they can get in close outside the reef. The places the companies take scuba trips are not that exciting and you can see everything there with a snorkel
Youtube Coral Bay dugong,it is some footage I took there of a dugong that was happy to hang out with us for about ten minutes.
Once you get north of exmouth you can pretty much forget about diving unless you can find a local to get you out away from the coast.
Check out a place inland called Karajini, it is amazing.
Thanks for the reply. Lots of info which i will take in when going there. Karajini is already on the itinerary! The website from Warroora station says they dont take bookings, are you sure they do?
