General Information about Geraldton
The only city on the Coral Coast, Geraldton has established itself as a contemporary coastal hub of cafes, shops, street art and galleries. The city's history and culture complement its laid-back coastal vibe, providing that perfect mix of things to see and do while simultaneously feeling relaxed. Its beaches and sunny climate make it popular with water sports enthusiasts and visitors looking to soak up the sun on pristine white sand.
The region of Geraldton extends south to the historic town of Greenough and to Ellendale Pool, a stunning waterhole naturally formed along the Greenough River. Inland is Chapman Valley, home to beautiful rolling hills, scenic drives, wildflowers and microbrews, and Mullewa, situated in the heart of wildflower country and rich with architectural heritage. To the west, you'll find the Houtman Abrolhos Islands, a pristine archipelago brimming with beauty, marine adventures and history.
