Busselton Information
Best known for its iconic two-kilometre long jetty and calm turquoise bays, Busselton has a relaxed atmosphere and is a popular place for a family holiday.
Twice voted Western Australia’s top tourism town, there’s plenty of activities and tours on offer.
Originally built in 1865 the historic jetty is the longest wooden pier in the southern hemisphere. The Underwater Observatory at the jetty’s end will take you up close to colourful fish and tropical coral.
Descend eight metres below sea level and look through the observation chamber to see one of the country’s best artificial reefs. More than 300 marine species enjoy warm waters created by the Leeuwin Current.
Adding to Busselton’s appeal is a new canal and marina development north of town which is a great place for a relaxed drink.
Stroll along the main shopping street - stopping at the old courtroom and jail, now arts centre, then cool off at the main swimming beach lined with lush lawns and magnificent pine trees.
To the north and south stretches 30 kilometres of immaculate beaches and crystal clear water. Try your hand at fishing, water ski-ing, snorkelling, scuba diving, windsurfing or sailing in the calm waters of Geographe Bay.
Or have a go on the waterslides, flying fox, carousel or racing cars at the beachfront fun park.
Just three hours drive south of Perth, Busselton is a great base to explore the Margaret River Wine Region.
Book a half or full day tour – there’s everything from canoeing to caving and camel rides.
If you’re visiting from September to November, a wildflower tour is a must.
Some key events include:
Summerfest, Busselton Beach Festival, Festival of Busselton (January)
Busselton Jetty Swim (February)
Busselton Triathlon (May)
