My boyfriend and I have made several attempts at describing the magic of the Margaret River region (“Margs”), when raving about it on our return home from Western Australia. Is it the Maldives-standard white-sand beaches that make it so otherworldly? Is it the fact that the sun actually sets over the sea here, unlike on the East Coast? Is it the award-winning wine and food scene just a couple of hours’ from Australia’s sunniest capital city?
Here’s the best summary we’ve landed upon so far: you could visit a new world-class beach every morning and a new world-class winery every afternoon for two weeks and you’d be far from running out of either. Now, here’s the even wilder part: you’d probably have most of those beaches and wineries to yourself.
