This is truly a worthwhile use of your time and energy. No we didn't catch the train which is probably best left to those with restrictions on the time it health constraints. The walk is medicinal in itself. Take your time, take plenty of breaks, and you will have no problems. We didn't hurry at all and it took about twenty five minutes. Late afternoon/Sunset is the pick for me. At that time of day you also get to see the serious fishermen and if you are particularly fortunate, some good fish and squid coming in. And, if nothing else, you get some good exercise. Don't miss the opportunity if you are there.

I did not ride the little train or go to the underwater observatory, but this was fun anyway. We paid $4 each to walk the length of the 1.84 km jetty, passing lots of people fishing and continuous views of startlingly clear water. It took about 20 minutes to reach the end, where there are soft drinks, snacks, and souvenirs on offer. Very popular attraction!

Great scenic spot for 2-3 hours walk. The breeze and views took our mind away. The coffee outlet near the entrance is great for a cup of coffee. It calm and beautiful, well kept. I will visit again when there is a chance. Suitable for all ages. Enjoy.

Loved visiting Busselton Jetty! The walk along the jetty was super relaxing with amazing ocean views the whole way. You can also hop on a cute little train if you don’t feel like walking. The underwater observatory at the end was really cool — got to see fish and coral up close. It’s such a chill spot to hang out, take photos, and enjoy the sea breeze. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area!
