Perched at the northern tip of the Leeuwin–Naturaliste Ridge, Cape Naturaliste, WA, marks the meeting point of Geographe Bay and the Indian Ocean. This dramatic headland forms part of Cape Naturaliste National Park and is the northern anchor of the iconic Cape Leeuwin to Cape Naturaliste coastline.
The heritage-listed Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse, built in 1903, crowns the bluff with sweeping ocean views. Today, visitors come for lighthouse tours, scenic coastal walks and unforgettable whale watching. From spring wildflowers to migrating humpbacks, this stretch of Western Australia offers nature at its most spectacular.

Unlike many Australian lighthouses, Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse is remarkably compact, standing just 20 metres tall due to its naturally elevated cliff-top position. Its powerful beam can be seen for over 40 kilometres out to sea, guiding vessels safely along the rugged Cape Leeuwin to Cape Naturaliste coastline.
The surrounding boardwalks make access easy, and the onsite interpretive centre offers insight into maritime navigation and the region’s early coastal settlement history.
Cape Naturaliste sits at the northern tip of the Margaret River region, where Geographe Bay meets the Indian Ocean. As part of Cape Naturaliste National Park, this striking headland marks the beginning of the famous Cape Leeuwin to Cape Naturaliste coastline and scenic coastal track.
Beyond seasonal Cape Naturaliste whale watching, visitors enjoy swimming, kayaking, boating and fishing in the sheltered bay. A short 40-minute drive away, Busselton offers its iconic jetty, relaxed beaches, forests, and access to the renowned Margaret River wine region, making it the perfect place to extend your coastal escape.
Cape Naturaliste, WA, is in the Margaret River region, around three hours south of Perth. It marks the northern end of the Cape Leeuwin to Cape Naturaliste coastline and overlooks the calm waters of Geographe Bay.
The Cape Naturaliste lighthouse is accessible for most active travellers. The guided lighthouse over 50s tour includes 59 steps, while nearby Cape Naturaliste walking trails offer well-maintained paths of varying difficulty to suit different fitness levels.
The best time for Cape Naturaliste whale watching is from September to December, when humpback whales migrate along the coast. Spring offers mild weather and excellent visibility, making it ideal for relaxed coastal viewing.
