What a beautiful beach! The jetty train to the aquarium was so relaxing even though the people on the train were chatting. It still felt peaceful. The ride was slow and 1.8 km long. The aquarium tour guide gave a thorough tour explaining how and why it was built, when, and how it was changed into the communities hands. I had to use my walker and was taken care of by the staff. They have an elevator for disabled customers. I was able to take my walker on the train. Thank you kindly to all the staff and volunteers of the Jetty.

One of the best beaches and jetty’s I’ve ever been to. White sandy and best time to visit is during sunset. But you can go in the afternoon, have a swim and pretty much enjoy your whole day till sunset. Moved interstate and now I miss this place so much.

One of the most beautiful photos of my late mum is of her standing on the beach by the Jetty so visiting the Jetty was a must. We chose to walk it there and back and paid $20 for the self tour of the aquarium at the end which is 5 minutes past every hour and you get 15 minutes which we found was more than enough time. It took us about 25 minutes to walk the jetty. It’s great to see people fishing, kids and adults jumping in the beautiful clear water. A must if you’re in Busselton.

A truly beautiful sea train experience! The scenic journey was mesmerizing, though the crowds during the school holidays were quite noticeable. Unfortunately, I missed the chance to join the underwater tour, which was a bit disappointing 😭. I’d love to return and experience it fully next time!
