πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families who enjoy scenic walks with genuine marine curiosity to reward at the end. The underwater observatory delivers up-close reef fish viewing that justifies the full walk. Families with prams or younger kids who tire easily will appreciate the train option running from both ends.

⏰Underwater observatory entry is separate from jetty entry β€” budget accordingly

β€œBusselton Jetty Busselton Jetty is an absolute must-visit and one of the highlights of the South West. The setting is stunning β€” the long walk out over the turquoise water is peaceful, relaxing and full of amazing views. Whether you choose to stroll the full length or hop on the little jetty train, it’s such a fun and unique experience for all ages. There’s plenty to do around the jetty as well: great food options, cute shops, and the perfect spots to sit back and enjoy the ocean breeze. The area is clean, well-kept and very family-friendly, making it ideal for kids, visitors, and anyone wanting a beautiful day out by the water. Every time we visit Busselton, this is always on our list. A fantastic mix of scenery, activities and local charm β€” highly recommend!”

β€œBusselton Jetty is an absolute must-visit in WA! The views are breathtaking, especially at sunset when the ocean turns golden and peaceful. The walk along the jetty is calm and refreshing, with endless ocean views that make you slow down and just take it all in. The little train ride is such a fun and relaxing experience, and the underwater observatory is fascinating β€” getting to see marine life up close was definitely a highlight. Everything is well maintained and beautifully looked after. Whether you’re visiting with friends, family, or just enjoying a solo moment by the water, Busselton Jetty is truly special and so worth the visit.”

β€œReally nice walk out on the Jetty $5Aud to enter, which is a nice hat tip to the upkeep of the place. It is a long walk, and can get caught in weather. We experienced very blustery wind on the way back in, but there is a train you can hop on from either end for those that might struggle with the walk. All in all a great way to spend 50mins to and hour!”
