Introducing Exmouth
Sunny Exmouth, with its delicious shrimps (it has a thriving prawn industry), is a busy tourist base for an increasing number of travellers eager to experience the Coral Coast’s Ningaloo Marine Park and Cape Range National Park. There’s little to do at Exmouth apart from fish and swim, and enjoy the wildlife – you’ll pass kangaroos on the drive into town, emus wandering around town, and there’s a great deal of bird life, including gorgeous pink-breasted galahs. While this is all fun, Exmouth is really a base for people driving into the national parks, doing tours or heading off to surf the cape.

Exmouth’s shopping centre on Maidstone Cres has banks with ATMs (as does the visitors centre) and decent shopping, including surf, camp and dive stores.
