Yallingup is a short 10 minute drive south west of Dunsborough, within the Margaret River Wine Region. It is a popular destination for surfing, fishing and relaxing.

Yallingup is an Aboriginal word meaning 'Place of Love'. The township became a loved tourist destination because of its caves, first discovered by European settlers in 1899.

Yallingup has many attractions: wineries, breweries, restaurants, galleries, arts and crafts abound, plus the bountiful natural offerings of the Leeuwin Naturaliste National Park.

Canal Rocks are unique rock formations on Yallingup's rugged coast where the Indian Ocean surges endlessly along a rock girt channel. The popular surf breaks of Three Bears, Yallingup, Smith's Beach and Injidup are known all over the world, whilst there is also ample opportunity to pursue the less vigorous activities of swimming, fishing and beachcombing.

Yallingup's busy seaside community plays host to the Malibu Surf Classic (Dec) and legendary Sunday sessions at the nearby historic Caves House.

Visitors will find vineyards dotting the picturesque hillsides throughout the area. Each has its own style and ambience with many offering lunch and dinner. In all there are over 50 vineyards and 30 wineries.
