1108 — Coral Bay

WA Department of Transport Nautical Chart

High-detail reef and inshore navigation for one of Western Australia’s most iconic coastal anchorages.

🚤 Navigate Coral Bay with Local Authority Confidence

Chart 1108 — Coral Bay is a detailed nautical chart published by the Western Australian Department of Transport to support safe recreational and local commercial boating around Coral Bay and the adjacent Ningaloo reef system.

This chart focuses on close-in detail—where fringing reefs, shallow lagoons, anchorages, and high recreational traffic demand precise, readable information. It’s designed for skippers operating in clear but unforgiving reef waters, where metres matter.

🧭 Why Skippers Rely on This Chart

• ⚓ Authoritative WA source — Published by the Department of Transport

• 🗺️ Large-scale clarity (1:25,000) — Ideal for reef and lagoon navigation

• 🚦 Navigation aids clearly shown — Lights, beacons, piles & limits

• 🌊 Depth soundings & reef detail — Critical around coral heads and shoals

🧠 Why Coral Bay Demands a Dedicated Chart

• Combine sightseeing with safe, informed navigation

This is a working navigation tool, not a decorative map.
