Exploring
Jurien Bay

Seals and Fishing Charters

One of the highlights of our trip was embarking on a boat tour to see the playful seals. The kids were thrilled to watch these curious creatures up close, frolicking in the clear blue waters. Fishing charters are also a popular activity in Jurien Bay, offering a chance to catch some of the local fish and enjoy a day out on the ocean. The joy of reeling in a big catch is an experience the whole family can share.

Exploring The Pinnacles

A must-see attraction near Jurien Bay is The Pinnacles, located in Nambung National Park. We decided to take an early morning trip and had the place almost entirely to ourselves. The surreal landscape of limestone pillars rising from the desert floor is unlike anything we’ve encountered in our travels across Australia. It’s a sight that leaves a lasting impression and is well worth the drive from either Jurien Bay or the nearby town of Cervantes.

Dining and Relaxation

Catching up with friends at Kakka Alley Brewing was another highlight of our stay. This local brewery offers delicious pizza and a selection of brews, along with a play area for the kids. The brewery is also rich in the history of Jurien Bay, providing an educational and enjoyable experience for visitors of all ages. It’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal while the kids play nearby.

Family-Friendly Spots

Jurien Bay boasts several family-friendly spots that are worth a visit. The Jetty, with its expansive playground, kept our children entertained for hours. It’s a fantastic place for a picnic or simply to let the kids burn off some energy. We also enjoyed spending time at the Marina, where we tried our luck at fishing. The excitement of catching a fish from the pier was a delightful experience for the kids.

Convenient Accommodation

We stayed at the Jurien Bay Tourist Park, which is conveniently located in the heart of town. The park’s central location meant we were just a short walk away from the local IGA, hardware stores, petrol station, and fishing shop. The staff at the tourist park were incredibly welcoming, and the facilities were top-notch, ensuring we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Traveling to Jurien Bay as a family offers a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and quality time together. From exploring natural wonders like The Pinnacles to enjoying local cuisine and engaging in fun activities, Jurien Bay is a destination that caters to all ages and interests. We left with wonderful memories and a desire to return to this charming seaside village.
