Binningup
“A hidden coastal gem with a reef‑sheltered bay.”
Overview
Binningup is a relaxed seaside town about 127 km south of Perth and 30 km north of Bunbury. Originally established as the “Binningup Beach Estate” in the 1950s and gazetted as a town in 1963, it sits between pristine beaches and rural farmland.
History & lifestyle
The town’s name is thought to derive from a Noongar word meaning “place of midges”. During World War II its hills served as a lookout for enemy aircraft.
Today, Binningup offers calm swimming thanks to an offshore reef, excellent fishing and snorkelling, a general store, caravan park, skate park, bowls & country club, fishing & surf club and other family‑friendly facilities. The long white‑sand beach is a well‑kept secret.
