As magical as I remember it from 2003! To die for crystal clear waters and magical marine life. Easy drive out from town on sealed roads. Bathrooms on site. Full review by P K

There are quite a few beach stops you can make along Yardie Creek Road along the Ningaloo Coastline including Turquoise Bay, which according to many publications is one of the most beautiful beaches … Full review by BradinHK

Great reef for snorkeling even for the unexperienced. Easy access and lots to see even turtles. We got there with an organization who provided us with the needed snorkeling gear. Full review by Ingrid v
We’re staying in Coral Bay in August - is it possible to drive direct to Turquoise Bay, or will we have to go via Exmouth?

I haven’t done the drive from Coral Bay to Turquoise Bay so I dont know what the state of the dirt track is south of Yardie Creek. I do know that you have to cross the mouth of Yardie Creek though and that is definitely a 4WD job. I’d recommend going via Exmouth.
Hi! We'll be visiting Turquoise Bay toward the end of July and will reach late in the day. Is it safe to start snorkelling around 4PM? Also, what are our chances of seeing turtles during this period? Thanks!

Snorkelling at any time of the day at Turquoise Bay is safe as long as you are aware of the tidal movement. Try to avoid snorkelling late on an outgoing tide as water will flush out of the lagoon.
Did you hire your fins and snorkel in Exmouth or bring with you from your home town. If you hired them can you tell me where to go please. Also did you do a tour to the Bay, or drive yourself and do what the others did as far as the DRIFT is concerned? Thanks

Hi everyone has pretty much answered your original question on the stacks themselves definitely best place to snorkel - I also found going just before they say best time to go (high tide) even better - as it is before the tide and the strong drift and waves comes in and easier with younger children to slowly swim across the bay - found it easier with the kids just be careful not to walk on anything as that is why they tell you high tide so less chance of stepping on things - go straight into swim mode to protect the reef. Was teaching my kids from the start to respect the reef :-)
We are thinking of going in June(early June) to visit this lovely beach. Is this a good month to visit? Weather-wise and water temp-wise? Thank you for any insight. :)

We were there in July. The days were warm and the nights coolish. I would imagine June might be slightly cooler but it is variable. Take a wetsuit as the water though warm ish can get cool when snorkelling for any length of time.
