Maud's Landing is a quiet piece of Coral Bay history, a former landing and townsite reserve north of the modern settlement. The name comes from the schooner Maud, and the coast still carries traces of a time when this exposed shore was imagined as a working port.
Today the appeal is low-key: beach, reef-country atmosphere, and a sense of the Ningaloo coast before Coral Bay became a holiday base. Access can require local advice and suitable conditions, so ask in Coral Bay before setting out.
