🎧 Listen to Introduction
Located on Australia's remote west coast, the Ningaloo Coast encompasses 604,500 hectares of marine and terrestrial property, including one of the world's longest inshore coral reefs. On land, the site features an extensive karst system and a network of underground caves and waterways. Whale sharks gather at the Ningaloo Coast every year, and it is home to a wide range of marine species, including large numbers of sea turtles. The terrestrial portion of the site features groundwater bodies, with an extensive network of caves, tubes and groundwater streams. They support a variety of rare species, contributing to the biodiversity of both the marine and terrestrial site.
