Margaret River
POP 4500
Although tourists usually outnumber locals, Margaret River still feels like a country town.
The advantage of basing yourself here is that after 5pm, once the wineries close, it's one
of the few places with any vital signs. Plus it's close to the incredible surf of Margaret
River Mouth and Southside, and the swimming beaches at Prevelly and Gracetown.
Margaret River spills over with tourists every weekend and gets very busy at Easter and
Christmas (book weeks, if not months, ahead). Accommodation tends to be cheaper mid-
week.
