Snorkling in Exmouth
Submitted by Tandawg on Sat, 2012-04-07 19:31
Will be going up to Exmouth on Friday. Mainly fishing but wouldn't mind spending a couple of hours snorkling. Can anyone help me with some nice spots on the west side? Will be staying at Lighthouse Park
Thank you

Before turquoise bay
last time I was there, we found a spot, where no fishing allowed, away from the tourist track, before you get to turquoise bay, and there were HUGE Nrth west snapper everywhere.....can't remember which track it was tho

Coral Bay
snorkelling is terrible. Dead coral everywhere. Gotta get away from town to get to the good stuff. Waroora is awesome.
Another vote for Turqoise Bay drift though, great snorkell

Turqoise Bay
Get on youtube and type in Turqoise Bay... Check out some of the footage others have posted....
Also I like snorkelling straight out from the lighthouse... not sure if youre still allowed but we used to load up on crays!!!!

coral bay
yeah unless you go off a boat in coral bay i wouldnt bother, there are heaps of NW snappers that are in knee deep water but like MattMiller said most the coral is broken and dead and doesnt make for good veiwing.
