Overview
Busselton is a vibrant coastal city located in Western Australia's beautiful South West region, approximately 220 kilometers (137 miles) south of Perth. It's nestled on the calm, protected shores of Geographe Bay, renowned for its crystal-clear turquoise waters and long stretches of white sandy beaches. Busselton is most famous for its iconic, heritage-listed Busselton Jetty, the longest timber-piled jetty in the Southern Hemisphere, which stretches an impressive 1.8 kilometers (1.1 miles) out into the bay. The city serves as a gateway to the acclaimed Margaret River Wine Region and offers a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere.
Busselton is a growing cruise port of call for various international and domestic itineraries exploring the Australian coastline. Cruise ships typically anchor in Geographe Bay and passengers are tendered directly to the Busselton Jetty. This unique disembarkation offers immediate access to the jetty's attractions and the bustling Busselton Foreshore. A visit to Busselton offers cruise passengers a chance to experience Western Australia's laid-back coastal charm, explore a unique historical landmark, and easily access one of Australia's premier food and wine regions. It's an ideal stop for those seeking natural beauty, outdoor activities, and gourmet delights.
The star attraction is the Busselton Jetty. You can walk its entire 1.8-kilometer length, or take the charming Jetty Train to the end. At the very end, descend 8 meters (26 feet).
Tip: Allow plenty of time for the jetty experience (walking or train ride, plus observatory).
The Busselton Foreshore area, directly adjacent to the jetty, is a beautifully developed space with wide paved paths, playgrounds, picnic areas, and numerous cafes and restaurants. It's perfect for a relaxed stroll, swimming.
Tip: Try Shelter Brewing Co. On the foreshore for local brews and good food.
Busselton is the northern gateway to the world-famous Margaret River Wine Region. Many cruise excursions will offer tours to local wineries for tastings of award-winning wines, gourmet food experiences, and visits to boutique breweries.
Tip: This is often a popular organized shore excursion, as it requires transportation.
The Margaret River region is also famous for its grand limestone caves. Excursions might be available to Ngilgi Cave, a stunning show cave with intricate stalactites, stalagmites, and crystal formations, steeped in Aboriginal mythology.
Tip: Cave tours typically involve some walking and stairs.
At the northern tip of the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park, a short drive from Busselton, stands the Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse. Climb to the top for stunning wide views of Geographe Bay, the Indian Ocean.
Tip: Often combined with a cave visit on organized excursions.
During the annual migration season (typically June to early December), Busselton is an excellent spot for whale watching. Humpback whales, Southern Right whales, and occasionally other species can be spotted.
Tip: Book a dedicated whale watching tour from the jetty or nearby Dunsborough for the best chances of sightings.
