A well-kept local secret, Binningup is blessed with a 40-kilometre stretch of white sandy beach, much of which is sheltered by reefs, creating ideal conditions for swimming, snorkelling, scuba diving, boating, and beach fishing.
This peaceful seaside spot lies just to the north of Australind and Bunbury and can be reached by car from Perth in just 90 minutes, making it a perfect day trip or weekend escape.
This seaside town is most at home in relaxed mode. Binningup is a carefree destination from decades ago. Low-key adventures and heartfelt hospitality combine to make it a holiday many repeat, year after year.
Its 180-degree vista of Geographe Bay also made it a key lookout point during World War II, when volunteer soldiers scanned the horizon for approaching enemy forces. Today, you can enjoy those ocean panoramas with a stroll along the beach, a family picnic or a spot of beach fishing. Throw in a line and you're likely to find out what makes Binningup a big favourite with the locals, with tailor, yellowfin whiting, herring, flathead and salmon (in season) among the catch of the day.
At the Foreshore, kids will love the nautical-inspired playground with Waabiny, the pirate ship. The surrounding grass area and BBQ are perfect for a family picnic overlooking the Indian Ocean.
When the swell is Northwest or Westly, surfers should head to the colloquial known Weedies. Even in summer, you'll often have the beach to yourself. And, in many places, you can drive along the beach too!
To make Binningup your base, explore the range of accommodation options available at the local caravan park or short-stay Airbnb listings.
