Exmouth/Coral Bay Water

Hi there.
The drinking water in coral bay is desalinated, Horrible to drink and gives you a sore stomach.
Not sure about exmouth.

The tap water at Coral Bay is undrinkable There is drinkable water in the camp Kitchen.

The main parks at Exmouth all have good water And if you fill up at midnite you dont have to ask LOL

The park at the cape has bad water if you can get it to run.

My friends stayed there water wouldnt run was horrible and no phone coverage.

Apart from the fish feeding at 3.30 at Coral BAy there is nothing to do when the whale sharks have gone.

Only fishing and snorkeling.

Definitely wont go back.

The Peoples Caravan park in Coral Bay uses the town water supply (desalinated) throughout the whole park.
You may not want to hook up to the bore water at Bayview Caravan Park. They have RO filtered water around the park for drinking only.

There is a tap at the Exmouth Visitor Center for travelers on the north side of the car park.

Also, Denham (Shark Bay) has a Caravan fill-up point at the big water tank (coin operated)

Enjoy the windy coast.

Just returned from Warroora station and Exmouth last week after 3 weeks holiday.
I have stayed at Coral Bay for about a week 18 months ago.
In my opinion both places are well worth a look however the water in both leaves a lot to be desired especially Coral Bay. Warroora STN required you to cart in all yourwater and we bought our drinking/cooking water from the supermarket in Exmouth. I fitted a new sacrificial electrode to the hot water system in our van just before we left and removed it to inspect and drain the system on our return and you would think it had been in for 3 years not 3 weeks by its condition.
I would definitely only use it for washing and flushing the toilet and not drinking.
After seeing what it did to the HWS I would recommend taking your own water even for that.

Thanks for all your replies, any info helps.

Graham H, as you are entitled to your opinion on a certain location please respect that the thread had nothing to do with how nice or exciting a place is, more a technical query.

Doing nothing and being bored is exactly why we are going.
