Meelup - Place where the moon rises out of the sea.

Meelup Regional Park, on the Geographe Bay side of Cape Naturaliste, is 280kms south of Perth. It is approxmately 577 hectares in area and extends from Dunsborough to Bunker Bay.

This coastline is rare in Western Australia because it faces north east. It is therefore sheltered from the prevailing strong salt bearing south westerly winds, and so, in many places, tall trees and dense vegetation grows down the waters edge

The local Wardandi people named Meelup ‘place of the moon rising’ because the full moon appears to rise out the sea on a few days of the year. The park offers excellent recreation facilities among pristine coastal bushland and has a stunning visual landscape, due to its general north-facing direction and hence protected coastline, and the stark contrast between the rustic granite outcrops and turquoise ocean. The Park is a special place for locals and visitors alike, providing all with a unique connection to the ruggedness, beauty and inspiration of nature.
