Gnaraloo Station

Gnaraloo Station is a remote working pastoral station and wilderness tourism destination on the Gascoyne coast, about 150 kilometres north of Carnarvon in Western Australia. Extending over coastal dunes, salt lakes and 65 kilometres of coastline adjacent to Ningaloo Reef, it is notable for the world-class surf break at Gnaraloo Bay, a significant loggerhead turtle rookery, and low-impact camping. The station combines pastoral heritage with conservation-focused eco-tourism and marine research.

Visitors can expect a remote, off-grid coastal wilderness with vast white-sand beaches, turquoise lagoons including 3 Mile Lagoon, and rugged dunes. Accommodation is limited to campground sites, station cottages and homestead stays with basic facilities. Activities centre on surfing at Gnaraloo Bay, snorkelling, kayaking, fishing, beach walking and seasonal turtle monitoring. The landscape is arid and exposed with limited shade, no sealed roads inside the station, and minimal services, offering a self-sufficient nature-based stay.
