Why Dunsborough
- Stunning beaches — Meelup Beach, Castle Rock, and Bunker Bay are some of WA's most beautiful and swimmable
- Gateway to Cape Naturaliste and the northern end of the Cape to Cape Track
- Whale watching in Geographe Bay (September–December) — humpback, southern right, and occasionally blue whales
Dunsborough is a laid-back coastal town on the shores of Geographe Bay in Western Australia's South West, roughly 250 km south of Perth. Sitting at the northern gateway to the Margaret River wine region, it blends pristine white-sand beaches with world-class wineries, rugged coastal trails, and seasonal whale watching. For backpackers, Dunsborough offers a quieter, more nature-focused alternative to its neighbour Margaret River — think turquoise water, sheltered swimming bays, and bushwalking through Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park, all without the crowds.
