Visitor Attractions

The Busselton/Margaret River Region incorporates the towns of Busselton, Dunsborough, Yallingup, Margaret River and Augusta. It is an immensely appealing area, where the delicate beauty of nature and the handiwork of man combine to form a unique paradise of unlimited variety.

Come and discover magnificently contrasting spectacles of nature - white sandy beaches, secluded bays, pounding surf, wild caves, rocky cliffs, towering forests and the sloping fields of vineyards our region is renowned for. Fine dining and world-class wineries can be enjoyed throughout the region, from Busselton to Augusta.

Steeped in history and rich in culture, the "Capes" region (Cape Naturaliste to Cape Leeuwin) has developed a reputation as Western Australia's premier tourism destination. In recognition, the region has been the recipient of Western Australia's prestigious "Top Tourism Town" award three times - Busselton in 1995 and 1996 and Dunsborough in 1999.

The townships of Busselton and Dunsborough, located in the northern sector of the wine region, are nestled on the unspoilt, beautifully clear shores of Geographe Bay. Protected from most prevailing winds by Cape Naturaliste, the Bay offers more than 30km of white sandy beaches bounding with marine and bird life. Bordered by natural bush and forests, Geographe Bay is a tranquil natural haven for fishing, water sports, diving, snorkelling and swimming. Yallingup is situated on the western side of the ruggedly scenic Cape Naturaliste and is legendary for its caves, sunsets and surfing.

The quaint township of Margaret River is nestled inland from the coast and is an ideal place to venture from to enjoy the wonders of the region. Located at the mouth of the Blackwood River, Augusta offers rugged coastal scenery and pristine beaches.

Wherever you should choose to spend your time, the Busselton/Margaret River Region is the perfect escape from the stress and pressures of everyday life!
