Margaret River is not all wine-tasting and gourmet food, or overindulging on cheese, chocolate, and coffee.

Sure, you’ll probably go to Margs and sip endless glasses of the internationally recognized wine – they have 150 wine producers!

But there’s another great reason to visit this region in South West Australia – the beaches of Margaret River!
