Exmouth provides the widest range with the Novotel Ningaloo Reef resort, Potshot Hotel, and several quality motels and holiday parks. The town has excellent facilities including dive shops, restaurants, and a supermarket. Coral Bay offers a more intimate experience with the Ningaloo Reef Resort, holiday houses, and the Coral Bay Holiday Park, all within walking distance of the reef beach access.
