Exmouth - Places to See
<b>Exmouth (including North West Cape)</b> <br> <b>Old US naval town surrounded by wild and interesting coastal scenery</b> <br> Located on the eastern coast of the North West Cape 1270 km north of Perth and 13 m above sea level, Exmouth was, historically, a naval town serving the US Naval Communication Station, Harold E. Holt, and the Learmonth RAAF Base. The US Navy left in the early 1990s and while part of the old naval base is still used by the Australian Navy (another part has become accommodation for backpackers) today the town is driven primarily by tourism with deep sea fishing, the beautiful Ningaloo Reef and the complex coastal wildlife (whale sharks are prevalent in the area) attracting visitors to this hauntingly beautiful region.
