Located about 450km north of Perth, the city is perched near beautiful coastline to the west and rolling hills and breakaway ranges to the east. The Chapman and Greenough Rivers frame the city to the north and south. This superb positioning, combined with the friendly feel of a country town, makes for a truly memorable holiday experience.

Geraldton-Greenough’s incredible location lends itself to a host of holiday activities, especially water sports. Windsurfing, kitesurfing, surfing, fishing, diving and swimming are popular choices for the energetic while those looking to relax will love lazing on our white sandy beaches, strolling its shorelines or wading in the turquoise shallows.

Art and culture enthusiasts will adore the range of galleries showcasing local talent and indigenous art. They’ll also revel in the new WA Museum Geraldton – a state of the art facility gracing the Batavia Coast Marina and showcasing the region’s rich maritime, natural and cultural histories.

A hill top memorial to the 645 lost sailors of the HMAS Sydney II's maritime disaster in 1941 is another attraction placing Geraldton-Greenough firmly on the tourism map.
