Giralia Bay / Exmouth Gulf
Giralia Bay is located 130km south of Exmouth township. Access to Giralia Bay is via Giralia Station, followed by a 40km dirt road to the camp spots. Access to the coastline is for guest only. The road is generally kept in good condition and access is limited when the road is muddy.
Giralia Bay fishing spots are rarely fished, which makes this place a must any angler. There are quite a few land based fishing spots at Giralia Bay to explore. The shallow flats of Ex Giralia have great sight casting for Trevally, Queenfish, Bream and Whiting. Giralia is a great place to launch a small boat to explore the small creeks, where the fishing is absolutely fantastic. The small creeks hold Mangrove Jacks, lots of big Cod, Threadfin Salmon, Bream, Dusky Flathead and Trevally. Around the western headland is a great place for trolling lures for Spanish Mackerel. The reef area here also holds Bluebone Tuskfish.
