Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We visited Margaret River and loved everything about the area. The wineries were superb. Staff friendly and informative. I would recommend the wineries we visited- Pierro, Fraser Gallop, Robert Oatley, Notting Hill, Fermoy. I was disappointed with Vasse Felix. It was run as a commercial business and missed out on any personal service. The boutique family owned wineries were far nicer and friendlier. The Margaret River Beaches are some clean and beautiful to swim in.
Great holiday destination all round.

This is a beautiful beach and very popular with the locals and visitors. We continued south along the coast and walked a few kilometres of the Cape to Cape Track. The coastline is spectacular and when the surf is up, you need your wits about you. The power of nature is impressive.

This is a stunning little beach which is really safe for swimmers and children. There is also a boardwalk from the car park stretching right around to the opposite headland. The walk takes about 40 each way and offers some great views.
My only advice would be, keep your lunch covered up as the seagulls can be a bit of a pest,

A fantastic beach not far from Margaret river town. It is ver sheltered especially the corner of the beach if a southerly wind is blowing.
White elephant is a great spot for coffees and morning breakfast . It can get very busy in summer.
You can also hire a sup board on the beach during summer time and it's a great place for snorkeling. I myself seen a huge manta Ray here and wobbegong shark.
Not 5 stars as sometimes the seaweed can impact the beach sand and smells bad , alsl it is full of flies.
Good to escape the winds .

Just down from Prevelly Beach / Surfers Point, this stretch has a cafe (The White Elephant), a nice scenic path for joggers/walkers, and is easily accessible by car.

Gnarabup Beach has lovely sand with the added bonus of a fantastic cafe and walk trail close by. You can watch the waves roll in and the paddlers and surfers further out while sipping your coffee.

Gnarabup Beach is on the WA coast a short distance from Margaret River town. We stayed on the coast for 3 nights while we were discovering the Margaret River area. We thoroughly enjoyed the views on the Indian Ocean coast early in the morning, for walks along the beach and later in the early evening for the stunning sunsets, as we returned from our day of adventuring. In September it was too cold to swim and there were quite startling signs at some beach entries of the dangers that may befall you, eg sharks, rips, rocks and the like, however there were always surfers out on the breaks defying the odds! This is a truly beautiful coastline and it was an ideal place to visit and stay at, as it is roughly in the middle of the attractions of the area. The wineries and craftspeople are largely to the north and Cape Leeuwin and cave systems to the south. The trip from Perth was a pleasant one of approx 3.5 hours direct, although we spent all day travelling and stopping at places of interest along the way.

Perhaps we made the wrong choice as there are other beaches in MR. The beach was kinda steep for my kid to run about and it's awash with seaweeds. Not exactly the best place for him to build his sandcastles.
It was nonetheless a beach with a great view.

We came upon this little beach unexpectedly and what a gem. If your driving down the coast it’s worth a visit . It also has a neat cafe on the beach

Better in the summer, but bring a flask and sit by the beach with a book and a lunch at the White Elephant, well facilities with showers etc.
