Cape Range National Park

Cape Range National Park is a protected national park on the North West Cape in Western Australia, adjoining the town of Exmouth. Established in 1964, it covers about 50,581 hectares of limestone ranges, deep gorges and sandy beaches bordering the Ningaloo Marine Park. It is part of the Ningaloo Coast World Heritage Area and is notable for its rugged canyons, fringing Ningaloo Reef, diverse wildlife and extensive camping and bushwalking opportunities.

Visitors can expect a rugged limestone range dissected by deep gorges such as Yardie Creek and Charles Knife Canyon, with coastal plains and white sandy beaches along the western edge adjoining Ningaloo Reef. The park offers marked gorge walks, coastal lookouts, snorkelling and swimming sites at Turquoise Bay and other beaches, unpowered campgrounds, picnic areas and the Milyering Discovery Centre with interpretive displays. Landscapes are arid with spinifex, wildlife including kangaroos, emus and diverse birdlife, and clear turquoise waters offshore.
