The Busselton Jetty Swim gives participants the perfect excuse to visit the Margaret River Region. Race recovery never felt so good!
Visiting the Margaret River Region
Busselton - Gateway to the Margaret River Region
Undalup, Busselton is the seaside gateway to the Margaret River Region on Wadandi Booja – Saltwater peoples country. It‘s where beach holiday memories are made.
Located on Geographe Bay, Busselton allures holiday makers with its seemingly endless stretches of white sandy beaches, crystal clear protected waters, and relaxed family friendly atmosphere. Most who visit return again and again, enticed by the city’s thriving events calendar or just to relish in life’s simple pleasures and enjoy nostalgic rituals, many of which centre around the town’s famous timber jetty.
Busselton is also the perfect base to explore the region and its key towns: Dunsborough, Yallingup Cowaramup, Margaret River, and Augusta. Breathtaking views and endless adventures await those who disperse through the region – from towering forests and ancient caves to rugged coastline and secluded beaches. And of course, the region is also internationally acclaimed for its gourmet food, award winning wine and boutique beer. All of your senses will be delighted!
