About Meelup Regional Park
Meelup Regional Park is a 550-hectare coastal reserve on Geographe Bay near Dunsborough in the City of Busselton, Western Australia. Extending about 11.5 kilometres from Dunsborough to Bunker Bay, it protects jarrah, marri and tuart woodland, granite headlands and sandy beaches including Meelup Beach and Eagle Bay. Jointly managed by the City of Busselton and the Meelup Regional Park Management Committee, it is notable for swimming beaches, bushwalking and mountain bike trails, and seasonal whale watching.
