RENOWNED FOR ITS ancient jarrah and tuart forest and 29km stretch of glittering beaches dotted with dramatic dunes, the Capel Region is a nature lover’s paradise. Roughly halfway between the centres of Bunbury and Busselton and nestled on the Capel River, you’ll find Capel, an authentically rural but fast-growing township. Here the walls of the main street are lined with murals that reflect the town’s culture and stories. Peppermint Grove Beach, or Peppy Beach as the locals call it, is a particularly alluring and must-see location, being home to white sandy beaches and fabulous short-term holiday houses; it’s your ultimate hammock and chill destination. Nearby, Boyanup is a quintessential dairy and cattle town boasting fantastic local produce. A little further north, Dalyellup is a new, coastal suburb adjoining Bunbury with awesome beaches, 50ha of parks and gardens, 25km of cycleways and walking trails and its own piece of preserved tuart forest. Get ready to explore the mix of magical areas and activities that make Capel so inspiring.
