Outdoor & Nature

The jewel of the area is the world-famous Busselton Jetty — a 1.8km wooden pier stretching over the turquoise waters of Geographe Bay, where visitors can walk or take the train to the Underwater Observatory below. The jetty is also a favourite for fishing, scuba diving, and spotting marine life.
Along the coast, Geographe Bay offers kilometres of white sandy beaches and crystal-blue, sheltered waters. Its gentle, family-friendly conditions make it ideal for swimming, paddling, and relaxed days by the sea. Combined with lush parklands, forest adventures, and scenic foreshore trails, Busselton provides a rich blend of relaxation, exploration, and natural beauty for all who visit.
