To sample some of the unique local produce, take a slight detour inland on your return and visit Chapman Valley. Here you will find a number of wineries with unique local flavours.

To visit places few people are lucky enough to see, park your car hire near the harbour, and head out on a boat tour of nearby Houtman Abrolhos Islands. The waters in the area contain colourful reefs, rich in sea life, and the islands are home to some important seabird colonies. The islands were discovered long before the mainland, they were the site of several shipwrecks from explorers trying to reach the west coast of the mainland. To learn a little about the ships that met their doom on the reefs, pay a visit to Geraldton Region Museum, located just near the harbour. The museum houses exhibits on the wrecks of three famous ships, the Batavia, Zuytdorp and Zeewijk, with retrieved artefacts on display.
