Planning a stay at BIG4 Breeze Holiday Parks – Busselton? You’re in luck! Not only is Busselton a dreamy coastal town in its own right, but it’s also the perfect base for unforgettable day trips through the Margaret River Region and beyond.

Here are some top-notch day trips you can enjoy without straying too far from your comfy cabin or camp set up.

Margaret River Wine Region

40 Minutes Away 

🍷 For foodies, wine lovers, and scenic explorers.

Spend the day tasting world-class wines, enjoying long lunches at cellar doors and exploring stunning vineyards. Margaret River isn’t just about wine, you’ll also find artisan chocolate, cheese, and local produce worth the detour. Don’t forget to pop into Margaret River town centre for boutique shopping and local art.

Meelup Beach & Cape Naturaliste

30 Minutes Away

🌊 For beach days, coastal walks, and nature spotting.

Head north toward Dunsborough and you’ll find one of WA’s most pristine stretches of coastline. Spend the morning snorkelling or paddle boarding at Meelup Beach, and then take a long walk along the Cape to Cape Track from Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse for epic ocean views. Maybe even spot a whale sighting during the season!

Yallingup

35 Minutes Away

🌀 For surfing, caves and art.

Yalligup is a creative hub with a dramatic coastline. Catch the waves (or just watch the pros do it), then explore Ngilgi Cave, a stunning limestone cave filled with ancient formations. Cap off your visit with a wander through local galleries or a tasting at one of the region’s craft breweries.

Bunbury

50 Minutes Away

🐬 For family fun and wildlife experiences.

Take a trip north to Bunbury and visit the Dolphin Discovery Centre, where you can learn about (and possible interact with) the friendly bottlenose dolphins that frequent Koombana Bay. The city also offers a great regional art gallery and waterfront cafes for lunch.

Augusta & Cape Leeuwin

1.5 Hours Away

🌅 For lighthouse views and Southern Ocean drama.

Take a scenic drive south to Augusta, where you can visit the iconic Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse, the most south-westerly point of Australia. It’s where the Souther and Indian Oceans meet, and the views are next-level. Time it right and you’ll see whales cruising by June to September.

Busselton Jetty & Underwater Observatory

Right on you doorstep

🐠 For underwater adventures and laid-back fun.

You don’t even need to leave town for an unforgettable day. Walk (or take the train!) along the famous Busselton Jetty, and visit the Underwater Observatory. Where you can see vibrant marine life in their natural habitat.
