Binningup: Reef, Beach and Coastal Views

Binningup reveals its coastal side in several ways: snorkelling on the reef, beach fishing and views over the Indian Ocean from an elevated lookout each offer a different experience. There is also a work of art, traces of the area’s farming history and a trail that ends at a road intersection in Binningup. When planning your trip, first consider whether water, scenery, history or a longer activity will shape your stay. These preferences can also help make your search for a hotel in Binningup more specific.

Reef, Beach and Views

In the calm waters, snorkellers can explore a reef that runs parallel to Binningup Beach. Beach fishing is also possible, with Bream, Tailor and Yellowfin Whiting among the species mentioned. If you enjoy planning a range of activities by the sea, you can treat snorkelling and fishing as different focal points.

The Valentine Beach Lookout offers a different view of the coast. It sits well above Binningup Beach and provides views north and south across the Indian Ocean. This elevated vantage point complements the experiences right on the beach and in the water.

Getting Your Bearings at Binningup Beach

Four-wheel drives can be driven on the firm sand at Binningup Beach; avoid the area of the beach used for swimming. Check local conditions before driving. The Binningup Surf Life Saving Club patrols the beach on weekends and public holidays each year between October and April. Check the specific patrol dates before your trip.

The Binningup Boat Ramp is a boat ramp on the foreshore at Binningup Beach. When the swell is breaking, Weedies Reef-Break is approximately 150 metres offshore, northwest of the boat ramp. This reference point combines a compass direction with an approximate distance and applies under the stated wave conditions.

Separately, a path runs 120 metres from the western end of Valentine Road towards Binningup Beach. This short distance provides a specific point of reference for getting your bearings, without specifying a walking time.

Art, History and a Playground

The Lakewood Shores Armillary Sphere Sundial, a work of art and a sundial, is located in Lakewood Shore Park in Binningup. In Old Windmill Reserve, remains from Binningup’s time as a farm can be found at the corner of Iluka Drive and Killara Street. Both places add cultural and historical context to a stay, distinct from the coastal experiences.

The shaded Waabiny playground has impact-absorbing surfacing and is designed for toddlers and teenagers. For families travelling with children of different ages, this age range is a useful guide when planning the day.

Plan for a Longer Horse Ride

The 10th Light Horse Trail ends at the intersection of Runnymede Road and Wellesley Road in Binningup. At a leisurely pace on horseback, it can be completed in about two days. This duration offers a different timeframe from the individual beach and lookout experiences and is a useful point of reference when planning a horse-riding tour.

If you’re looking for a hotel in Binningup, start by considering what matters to your travel group. This helps align your search with the kind of trip you’re planning.
