The region is beautiful from top to bottom, waves to caves, cape to cape...

Cape Naturaliste to Cape Leeuwin

Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse, Augusta

The northern cape where the southern ocean meets Geographe Bay along the northern coast of the Margaret River region is an amazing sight, and the rocks and waves of the Naturaliste peninsula must be seen to be believed. 

The coast south from Yallingup to Prevelley is spectacular, and so is the surfing!

The southern tip at Cape Leeuwin is steeped in the history of the Western Australian seafaring past. 

Caves offer a glimpse into ancient depths and show the growth of rocks over thousands of years. Wonderous sights.
