With year-round perfect climate and days that just beacon you to come out and play you will find it hard to resist! The pine tree-lined foreshore has 30km of beach for you to play upon where there is surfing, swimming, windsurfing, beach fishing, and water skiing and even see what lies beneath that water level within Geographe Bay. There is the famous Busselton Jetty which is the longest jetty in the Southern Hemisphere to walk out on and at the end, you will find the Underwater Observatory where you can descend 8m below the water level and see the hundreds of marine species that call these waters home all while staying dry.
