Dunsborough to Busselton Shared Path
About this cycle path
The Dunsborough to Busselton Shared Path is a 30 km asphalt cycle route linking two popular South-West coastal towns. Mostly flat with occasional gentle rises, it offers a substantial ride through the wine region and coastal heath landscape. Well-suited to experienced cyclists and those after a longer day ride; the distance and some exposed sections make it challenging rather than leisurely.

What to expect
Asphalt throughout, mostly flat terrain with occasional gentle climbs. The path winds through open heath and vineyard country with variable shade; expect exposed sections and stretches without tree cover. Well-signposted as a shared path. Wind can be a factor along the coastal approach to Busselton, particularly in afternoon.
Good to know
- Open to cyclists
- Firm/surfaced — more accessible going
Carry plenty of water—30 km is a substantial ride and South-West sun exposure adds fatigue. Start early to avoid afternoon heat, especially October to April. Wear a helmet and use lights if riding early or late. Spring (August–October) offers wildflowers and mild temperatures; summer carries bushfire risk. Check conditions before departure.
