Busselton Foreshore Beach
📍Distance from BIG4 Breeze: ~150m walk | Best for: Families, swimming, fishing & dog walking
First up is Busselton Foreshore Beach, located just steps from Breeze Busselton.
This beautiful stretch of coastline forms part of the 15km Geographe Bay shoreline, known for its soft white sand and clear turquoise water. Because the bay is protected from large swells, the water stays calm and shallow. As a result, it’s perfect for families with young children and relaxed swimming.
The Foreshore area (a 30 min walk, or 10 min drive from Breeze) is also packed with family-friendly facilities. You’ll find playgrounds, walking paths, picnic spots and a shark smart swimming enclosure. Plus, the nearby kiosk serves coffee, ice creams and hot chips. Everything you need for an easy beach day.
Of course, no visit to Busselton is complete without seeing the iconic Busselton Jetty. Walk the jetty, ride the train or visit the underwater observatory to see marine life below.
