Across the four nights and five days of the Exmouth Wild Prawn Festival, local restaurants along the Prawn Trail are serving up special menus, and the community is celebrating the start of prawning season. In other words? There’s plenty of reason to stay a while.
School holidays and idyllic weather make April one of the busiest and best times to visit the Ningaloo region. Accommodation fills early. Booking ahead is strongly recommended.
