Sun-drenched sands, turquoise waters, and a coastline that caters to every kind of beach bum and thrill-chaser.

​Big swells and a variety of breaks spoil surfers at Yallingup, 30 minutes’ drive from Margaret River. Conquer the challenging barrels of Three Bears, Smiths, Rabbits, and Yallingup main beach. In need of a break from the waves? The sheltered rock pool of Indijup natural spa is a hidden gem.

​Redgate, Gnarabup, and Prevelly offer pristine beaches with calm waters for those wanting to swim, sunbath, or play in the sand. Wanting to catch a wave or watch locals show off? Prevelly boasts a fantastic vantage point to watch the big waves.

​For something different, Hamelin Bay, nearby the wild Jewel Cave experience, is a unique opportunity to witness stingrays. These gentle giants are the centerpiece of Hamelin Bay culture of fishermen feeding them before heading out and upon return. A visit in the afternoon, with a bit of luck, you can watch the feeding frenzy. You can even hop in the water and see what their food interests really are. Remember that these wild animals while generally docile, can get ugly quickly.

Whether you're a seasoned surfer chasing the perfect wave, a sunbather seeking relaxation, or an animal lover yearning for a wildlife encounter, Margaret River's coastline caters to every desire. So, pack your swimsuit, sunscreen, and sense of adventure, and get ready to experience the magic of this sun-kissed paradise! If in need of a water break, visit one of the award winning wineries along the path.
