Jurien Bay, however, is arguably the most pleasant of these Indian Ocean beach towns. The Perth to Jurien Bay drive takes two hours and 20 minutes. There’s a marvellous beach to hang out on, but other things to do in Jurien Bay include Turquoise Safaris’ snorkelling with sea lions trips. You can also go skydiving in Jurien Bay – and land on the beach.

Jurien Bay accommodation picks include the cabins at the Jurien Bay Tourist Park, the conveniently-located Jurien Bay Hotel Motel and the spacious Jurien Bay Motel Apartments.
