About Bills Bay
Bills Bay is the bay in front of the village of Coral Bay, protected by the Ningaloo Reef. The shallow calm water over white sand is light blue, and the corals start a few meters from the shore.
With mask and snorkel you can see corals, colorful fish, turtles and sometimes small reef sharks, which often stay in the bay’s shallow waters and do not bother swimmers.
The beach has shade part of the day, showers and shops that rent snorkel equipment. Glass-bottom boat trips depart from the bay for those who prefer to see the reef without getting in the water.
There is no entry fee to the beach. There are protected areas where fishing is prohibited, indicated by signs.
