Welcome to the Coral Coast Highway.The 1,250km (800 miles) Coral Coast Highway from Perth to Exmouth is one of Australia's Great Scenic Drives, and has been referred to as one of the greatest road trips on earth. Along the way, you will discover a combination of some of Australia's and the world's most amazing attractions and experiences, many found nowhere else on earth, as the road hugs the Indian Ocean coastline.
