Gracetown Caravan Park

Three kilometres from the park is Cowaramup Bay beach, a top spot in this part of Western Australia for surfing as well as snorkelling, fishing and kayaking on the Cowaramup Bay reefs. Whale watching tours can be booked in season. Cow-themed town Cowaramup has plenty of cow-themed bits and pieces all around: a pic with the fibreglass life-sized Friesian cows and calves is surely recommended, as is a visit to the town's festival, Deja Moo, held every July. Organic wine, local artwork and local produce such as fudge, chocolate, olive oil, cheese, meat and soaps are plentiful in the town shops. From Cowaramup, the Margaret River Chocolate Factory, the Margaret River Cheese Company and the vineyards and wineries of the Margaret River wine region are all within easy reach. There are a few dozen winemakers and grape growers in the region, producing Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Sauvignon blanc, Shiraz and Merlot among others: learn the boozy tale of the lot at the Margaret River visitor centre in its eponymous town. You could also take a tour among the underground walkways and ladders of Ngilgi Cave and tackle the walking and mountain bike trails in the Blackwood State Forest, both within 30 kilometres, or sink into some scuba diving from Busselton, 45 kilometres away.
