Carnarvon sits on the central West Australian coast (900km North of Perth) at the mouth of the Gascoyne River, where red earth meets the Indian Ocean and wide skies stretch forever. It’s a town built on saltbush, mango orchards and fishing — perfect for snorkelling the Ningaloo Marine Park, chasing coral, reef and big fish, or wandering the fascinating heritage and horticulture trails through orchards and historic sites. Year-round sunshine, dramatic sunsets and easy access to iconic coastal drives make Carnarvon a genuine outback-meets-ocean escape.
Make your stay better at Pelican Point Waterfront Resort. Set right on the beachfront, our rustic, family-friendly accommodation gives you front-row views of the water, easy beach access for kids and anglers, and comfortable, no-fuss rooms that feel like home after a day of exploring. Wake to pelicans and dolphins, barbeque your catch on-site, and enjoy a relaxed community atmosphere where locals and visitors swap tips for the best fishing spots and reef tours. If you’re after real coastal WA — honest, welcoming and full of character — Pelican Point Waterfront Resort is the simple, perfect base for your Carnarvon adventure.
