Explore the longest wooden jetty in the Southern Hemisphere! From 1865 it took over 95 years to build and stretches 2km into the ocean. It also has an Underwater Observatory which dives to the ocean floor allowing the colourful corals and fish to be seen without getting wet.

The tranquil waters of Geographe Bay, a noticable feature on the Western Australian coastline is an attraction within itself. The beautiful beaches which stretch endlessly in each direction are remarkable. Great for water skiers, windsurfers and especially snorkelling and diving.

Named after a French sailor, the river is a delightful mecca for birdlife and fish. The grassy banks provide a great walking trail and many parks lie adjacent to the river including Rotary Park, an excellent picnic area serviced with electric barbeques and children's playground.

Being a holiday town, there is no shortage of year-round entertainment for the whole family including the Yoganup Playground on the town foreshore for children and the Nautical Lady Entertainment Park, with it's huge waterslide, go-carts, mini golf, archery and mini railway.
