Five Fingers Reef

Five Fingers Reef is a shallow coral reef snorkel and dive site located offshore from Coral Bay within the Ningaloo Marine Park in the Shire of Carnarvon, Western Australia. Part of the Ningaloo Reef World Heritage Area, it is known for its distinctive finger-like coral formations, clear turquoise water and diverse marine life including tropical fish, turtles and reef sharks. Accessible only by boat, it is a popular site for guided snorkel tours from Coral Bay.

Visitors can expect a boat-accessed offshore reef with shallow coral bommies forming five finger-like ridges, clear water and abundant marine life. The site is visited on guided snorkel and dive tours from Coral Bay, typically including mooring at the reef for snorkeling, viewing tropical fish, corals, turtles and occasional reef sharks, with no land or beach area at the reef itself.

Part of Ningaloo Reef, the largest fringing reef in Australia. Ningaloo Marine Park was established in 1987 and the Ningaloo Coast was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Area in 2011 for its natural values and marine biodiversity.
