Yallingup is a small tourist town three hours drive south of Perth, in Western Australia. It is a popular holiday destination for surfing, fishing and relaxing.
Yallingup is an Aboriginal word meaning ‘Place of Love’ and the township became a loved destination because of its stunning limestone caves first discovered by European settlers in 1899. Yallingup’s most famous cave, Ngilgi Cave, is named after the Ocean Spirit who dwells there after battling and defeating the notorious Wolgine who was causing drought and famine and starving the local Wadandi people. Apart from its Aboriginal cultural significance, Yallingup has many attractions: wineries, breweries, galleries, arts and craft abound. There are bountiful natural offerings in the Leeuwin Naturaliste National Park, such as surfing, windsurfing, fishing, whale watching and dolphin spotting, diving for crayfish and abalone, scuba diving on ship wrecks, wildflowers, rock climbing and abseiling on granite cliff faces, bushwalking, horse riding, canoeing, golfing and so much more.

Yallingup’s tourist season extends for all of summer and autumn (December to April), with the busiest period of 6 weeks from December to January during school holidays. The two towns are used to such an influx of tourists and welcome International and interstate guests. Weather wise, in summer Yallingup experiences temperature from 16-30 degrees. Beachgoers can shelter from the sun and wind on the Geographe Bay side of the Cape by the tranquil waters of Meelup and Eagle Bay.
