We stopped in Canarvon for lunch before arriving into Coral Bay Sunday around 2pm. We wandered out to have a look at the beach and to feed the fish. The sand was a beautiful pinkish-white. There was an incredible shallow bay with aqua colored water almost resembling the color of a swimming pool. We wandered out to where a small crowd had gathered in knee deep water and found a few dozen large fish (18-36 inches in length) that were being fed by the small crowd. They were all around your feet, swimming back and forth between your legs. It was a pretty cool experience. The kids were a bit intimidated at first, because the fish were pretty big.
We spent all day Monday at the beach, relaxing. We did some snorkeling, but didn't go around the corner to Paradise Beach (where the better reef is and the good snorkeling). There were quite a number of large fish right in the bay that kept us content.
A large square-headed fish swam up to shore as if to say "Hi" to us. It beached itself for about 5 seconds, let us touch it, then wiggled backwards and shot back out into the bay. It darted back at us a few times before disappearing forever.
Next Stop...Exmouth, Turquoise Bay, Yardi Creek
