To start with you can look forward to canoeing and kayaking or even trying your hand at some white water rafting. There is diving and snorkelling off the nearby reefs and shipwrecks or perhaps you would like to get a line or two wets with the opportunities for fishing whether it be straight from the beach, from a hired dinghy, or out on a fishing charter for the day. You can play a round of golf on the local golf courses and embark upon one of the many coastal walks that provide beautiful views and lookouts along the way or you might like to see the sights of Bunbury while cycling around.
There are sailing, cruises, and yachting adventures to set sail on and with the year-round swimming at the beaches, there is always fun by the water’s edge to be had. You can go water skiing, jet skiing, surfing, windsurfing, kiteboarding, and body boarding, or maybe a trip to the Dolphin Discovery Centre where you can see and swim with the local bottlenose dolphins is what you want to do for the day. There is whale watching and dolphin spotting cruises and with some of the calmest ocean waters fringing the coastline a great way to spend a day is just to kick back and relax on a sailing trip or join a sunset cruise to watch the sun fall over the horizon while sipping on champagne.
