Busselton judged WA's top tourism town in 1995 and 1996 and is the State's premier seaside resort town. Sheltered from most prevailing winds, it has 30 kilometers of white sandy beaches and is an aquatic playground remarkable for the variety it offers in the tranquil waters of Geographe Bay. The bay is used for fisherman, water skiers, snorkelers, scuba divers, windsurfers and sailors. In the last 30 years, a new industry has developed in the region with the establishment of many vineyards, which produce award winning Margaret River Wine Region premium table wines. This helps to supplement the traditional industries of dairying, beef cattle, sheep and other farming products. In spring, the wildflowers are magnificent and such varieties as Kangaroo Paws, Cat's Paws, Pink Vine, Acacias and Donkey and Spider Orchids are in abundance. Busselton makes an excellent base from which to explore the surrounding area, in particular the Margaret River Wine Region, which extends westward from Busselton in the north to Augusta in the south.
