No. A coral reef is just a reef made out of coral. There are many other kinds of reefs. A coral reef is just one kind. The Great Barrier Reef is a specific coral reef. There are many other coral reefs in the world.

no one will protect our coastal communities from big waves
It does not rain in a coral reef because the wind near the coral reef is dry and has no moisture
Coral reefs are made up of many things. The coral itself produces calcium carbonate which gives structure to the reef. However there is also an algae which produces limestone at the edges of the reef to strengthen it.
The floor of a coral reef is typically rocky rather than sandy. Coral reefs are built from the calcium carbonate structures created by coral polyps, resulting in a hard substrate. However, sandy areas can be present around the reef, particularly in lagoons or along the periphery, but the main structural components of the reef itself are rocky.
It depends what you mean by 'the coral reef', if you mean just coral reefs in general, you can find them in any tropical, warm and fairly shallow waters. If you mean the Great Barrier reef, it is along the eastern coast of Australia like Cairns, but it is a place in itself.
