Margaret River isn’t just a dot on the map of Western Australia. It’s a place where forest meets ocean, where every turn seems to reveal another reason to stay a little longer. Whether you’re here for the food, the wine, the waves, or the walks, this corner of the country delivers in spades. 

Here are some of the best things to see and do while you’re here. 

1. Sip Something Special at The Grove Distillery

Everyone talks about Margaret River wine (and for good reason) but The Grove Distillery is proof that this region knows its way around a spirit, too. From award-winning whiskies and rums to small-batch gins and liqueurs, there’s always something to taste. Book in for a Talk & Taste session, learn how it’s made, and enjoy a glass with a view over the vines. 

2. Meet the Makers at Margaret River Farmers’ Market

Every Saturday morning, locals and visitors flock to the Margaret River Farmers’ Market. This isn’t just a spot to stock up on fresh fruit and veg – it’s a community hub. Chat with growers, taste your way through seasonal produce, pick up homemade chutneys, and grab a coffee before your next adventure. 

3. Step Underground at Mammoth Cave

Hidden beneath towering karri forest, Mammoth Cave is as impressive as its name suggests. A self-guided tour takes you deep into its limestone chambers, where stalactites hang from above and ancient megafauna fossils lie quietly embedded in the walls. It’s cool, quiet, and completely captivating. 

4. Walk the Cape to Cape Track

Stretching for 123km between Cape Naturaliste and Cape Leeuwin, the Cape to Cape Track is the ultimate way to see the region’s coastline. You don’t have to do it all – shorter sections will still reward you with clifftop views, wildflowers, and hidden beaches. Pack water, good shoes, and a camera. 

5. Catch the Coast at It's Best

Margaret River’s beaches are the stuff of surf-world legend. Main Break draws the pros, but there are gentler waves for learners at places like Redgate Beach. Even if you’re not hitting the water, spots like Surfers Point are perfect for a sunset picnic with panoramic views. 

6. Connect with Culture

For a deeper connection to the land, join an Indigenous cultural experience. Koomal Dreaming tours weave together bush tucker tastings, didgeridoo performances, and storytelling, often set in remarkable cave systems. It’s a powerful way to see the region through the world’s oldest living culture.
