Coastal treasures between the Capes

The Margaret River Wine Region covers the area between Cape Naturaliste and Cape Leeuwin and east to Busselton, enveloping a cluster of towns, each with its own distinct personality.

The popular seaside town of Busselton features the longest wooden jetty in the southern hemisphere – a great fishing spot or the perfect place to enjoy a serve of fish and chips. Busselton Jetty has been described as Australia's greatest artificial reef and is host to an awe inspiring forest of vividly coloured tropical and sub tropical corals, sponges, fish and invertebrates.

Busselton's tranquil waters are an aquatic playground for water-skiers, snorkellers and scuba divers. An underwater observatory allows visitors to experience one of Australia’s most fascinating artificial reefs – without getting wet.

Further west, along the coast of north-facing Geographe Bay, is Dunsborough. Blessed with sheltered beaches and beautiful forests, scenic walk trails are easy to find. It’s also a highly regarded diving spot boasting the world renowned HMAS Swan dive wreck.

Augusta is the most south-western point of the state, where the Indian and Southern oceans meet. Whales play off the coast here from June to December, and can be easily spotted from the historic Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse.
