Me too. We go every year, this year will be our 7th visit.

Kalbarri is great too. Especially in the wildflower season which has now passed. There can be LOADS of flies there if you are unlucky.

Yes enjoyed Kalbarri as well. Exmouth seems to have more things/places accessible easily than Coral Bay. Completely blown away by snorkelling over the Reef - incredible experience.

Kalbarri and Exmouth are much bigger towns. Coral Bay really is very quiet with just 2 camp sites, a pub and a few shops. It suits us because we can literally not drive anywhere the whole time we are there. Kalbarri isn't really a beachy town IMO, it has beaches but they aren't as good as Exmouth and if you want to snorkel, dive or fish then Exmouth and Coral Bay are far superior.
