Geographe Bay
Geographe Bay, with its sheltered waters, over 30 kilometres of white sandy beaches and local attractions is a popular destination for sailing, fishing, and diving and recreational boaters. It is home to the Geographe Bay Race Week, the largest sailing event in Western Australia, the West Australian Triathlon and numerous other sporting, social and cultural activities throughout the year.
The early history of European exploration of the area focuses on the French expedition of 1801 which brought Nicholas Baudin, with his ships the Geographe and Naturaliste, to the coast of Western Australia. It was Baudin who named the bay, Geographe Bay, after his vessel and named the river Vasse after a sailor who was lost, believed drowned, in the area.
Only six kilometres north of the Busselton township is Port Geographe Marina. It provides a sheltered haven for boaters with a first class marina facility, mixed with hospitality and friendship in a carefree environment.
After all, boating is all about getting away from the stress and strains of every day life and enjoying the moment.
