Dunsborough, WAs top Tourism Town in 1999, is the gateway to Cape Naturaliste. Located 25km from Busselton and just round the corner from Yallingup this area has some of the most beautiful coastlines in Australia. Sheltered by the waters of Geographe Bay, Dunsborough has a lot to offer.

The Meelup National Park is 200m away, and this is the start of a coastal walking trail that goes all the way to Cape Naturaliste.

The longest wooden jetty (pier) in the southern hemisphere is one of Australia's most unique eco-tourism sites.

Why not take an hour or two of your time to enjoy this unique experience!
