Just drove through to see what it is like whilst staying in Dunsborough. Lovely little town. Gorgeous looking beach.

We stopped off here on the way down to Augusta, easy parking, toilet facilities and a short walk on to the beach for swimming or surfing or to simply people watch which is precisely what we did as we ate our lunch in the car enjoying the view. It says a lot about the area when the store/cafe nearby (which doesn't look much from the outside) sells high quality champagne amongst a nice selection of other wines and sandwiches, it was like a tardis! Next time we will be buying our food from there, it looked much better than what we actually had with us.

We love bringing the family down here and swimming, even in winter it's a great place to go for a swim just a little bit chilly! The car park is spacious with a lot of easy access to the beach and there are even public toilets
