Treat wildlife sightings as a bonus, not a guaranteed beach activity. Check the season and weather for boat tours, and leave time for safe coastal walking.

Can a two-wheel-drive rental reach beaches near Margaret River?
We plan to drive from Perth and want coastal stops, Busselton and wineries without damaging the car.

Read the rental agreement's road exclusions before departure and use official park or council maps for the final approach. Walk the last stretch if the legal car park is away from the water.

Check access instructions for each exact beach; some have sealed public parking while others involve soft sand or unsealed roads. Do not drive a normal rental onto sand.
