Ningaloo Reef

Ningaloo Reef, Australia

A reef close enough to swim to from the beach rather than boat out to, whale sharks passing through every autumn in numbers rare anywhere else on earth, and a coastline so remote the stars at night have nothing competing with them.

The best time to visit Ningaloo Reef is Mar–Jul, when typical daytime highs reach about 37°C (99°F).
