This wide, sandy beach is home to the iconic Busselton Jetty, plus a swimming enclosure so kids can swim safely.

There are also playgrounds, BBQ areas, a skate park and a string of cafés and restaurants along the esplanade, so you can easily spend the whole day here.

And in summer, there are even markets and live music!

Know before going:

• Beach and foreshore access is free, but entry fees apply for the jetty

• Plenty of free 2WD-friendly parking near the foreshore, but it fills up fast on summer weekends

• Facilities: toilets, hot showers, water fountains, pram & wheelchair-friendly paths

• Check the summer events calendar if you’re keen on markets or live gigs
