Dalyellup
Dalyellup is a SUB AREA in Perth, Western Australia.
Dalyellup is a peaceful coastal escape on Western Australia's stunning southwest coast, just 15 minutes south of Bunbury. This small but welcoming community is framed by pristine beaches, limestone cliffs, and the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. The real draw here is the laid-back lifestyle: long beach walks on Dalyellup Beach, spotting dolphins from the shore, and exploring the rugged beauty of nearby Tuart Forest National Park. The town’s modern amenities—a shopping centre, cafés, and a central lagoon—make it easy to relax without the crowds of larger resort towns. For nature lovers, the Capes region offers world-class wineries, towering karri forests, and the famous Margaret River region just an hour away. Dalyellup also serves as a quiet base for whale watching (June–October) and exploring the historic port of Bunbury. Whether you're kayaking in the calm estuary, cycling the coastal paths, or simply watching the sunset over the ocean, Dalyellup embodies the unhurried charm of Australia’s southwest.
