Attractions

Bunker Bay is the closest settlement to historic Cape Naturaliste lighthouse, located on the far end of Geographe Bay, and providing a perfect base for coastal walks year-round. The lighthouse, built in 1903, was made from limestone quarried near Bunker Bay and offers panoramic ocean views. The Lighthouse Keepers Cottage Café is a great spot for coffee, cake or a light lunch and the kids will love the nautical-themed playground.
