Bunker Bay

Highlights

Sheltered and pristine, Bunker Bay entices with pure white sand and gentle lapping waves perfect for swimming, snorkelling and fishing. Located within the famous Margaret River Wine Region, the bay is protected by the rocky outcrops of Cape Naturaliste and is one of the few north-facing beaches in Western Australia. It is ideal for families wanting a relaxing day at the beach, as well as divers and snorkelers who enjoy amazing marine life just offshore.

The fishing is also good - throw in a line and you might snare a herring, whiting or skippy. Nearby are world class surf breaks, including The Farm, while just a short drive away you're surrounded by award winning wineries, restaurants, craft stores and galleries.
