About Binningup
Welcome to Binningup
Binningup is a small coastal settlement in Western Australia's South West, tucked along the Old Coast Road roughly midway between Bunbury and Mandurah. It's the kind of place people find rather than pass through — a stretch of white beach, a caravan park, a general store and not much else, which is precisely the appeal for those chasing a slower coastal life.
With a population of just 1,296 and a median age of 45, Binningup suits retirees, sea-changers and families after a permanent holiday feel rather than a bustling town centre. Its closest neighbour, Myalup, shares the same laid-back coastal character, and together the two form a quiet pocket of the coast that has largely avoided the density of bigger seaside towns.
Lifestyle & dining
Life in Binningup revolves around the beach. The town's swimming spot is well known locally as one of the safer, more sheltered stretches of coast in the region, with a reef break that keeps the water calm and clear for families and swimmers. There's no bustling dining strip here — locals tend to head to the general store for essentials or drive to Myalup, Harvey or Bunbury for a wider choice of cafes and restaurants. What Binningup lacks in nightlife it makes up for in quiet: sunset walks along the beach, fishing off the rocks, and a genuine sense of community among residents who know each other by name.
Shopping
Day-to-day shopping is modest and functional, centred on a local general store covering basic groceries and essentials. For a proper supermarket run, bulkier shopping or speciality retail, residents typically drive to Harvey or into Bunbury, both within easy reach and offering full-scale shopping centres, major supermarkets and homewares stores that Binningup itself doesn't attempt to replicate.
Getting around
Binningup sits on the Old Coast Road, giving straightforward access north to Mandurah and Perth, and south to Bunbury. The Forrest Highway runs close by as well, making it a practical base for those who need to commute for work while still living on the coast. There's no train line through Binningup itself, so a car is essential; those wanting rail access typically drive to Bunbury or further north towards Mandurah for connections into the wider Transperth or regional network.
Parks & recreation
The beach is the main drawcard, but there's also a golf course in town, along with local parks and reserves that cater to a relatively active, outdoors-minded population. Fishing, boating and beachcombing are everyday pastimes rather than novelties here, and the nearby Leschenault Peninsula and Myalup's pine plantations add bushwalking and dune-riding options for those wanting to explore beyond the coastline.
The property market
Binningup's property market reflects its tightly held, low-density character. The median house price sits at $655,000, after growth of 16.1% recently — a solid run for a small coastal market with limited turnover. Median rent is $570 a week, indicative of steady demand from those wanting a permanent coastal base rather than a holiday letting market. Current listings show a mix of 71% houses and 29% land, suggesting there's still room for buyers to build rather than simply buy established homes, which is typical of a town that has grown gradually rather than through large-scale development.
Housing & architecture
Housing in Binningup tends toward single-storey brick-and-tile and coastal-style homes, many built with beach access and ocean breezes in mind rather than architectural statement. The presence of vacant land among current listings points to an established but still-developing streetscape, where new builds sit alongside older holiday-home-style houses, some clearly built decades ago as shacks and since upgraded for permanent living.
