Geraldton Backpackers on the Foreshore

Geraldton Backpackers on the Foreshore is centrally located in a beautiful, newly renovated heritage listed building, which is an attraction in itself. Just metres from the backdoor are the inviting waters of Champion Bay and the Town Beach.

Enjoy the ocean views, listen to the waves breaking on the foreshore and watch ships come in to the harbor whilst you relax in our tranquil outdoor garden terrace or from our enclosed upper balcony.

With shops and restaurants close by you can find a quirky postcard for your loved ones back home or a good book for yourself, get some tasty food from one of the many restaurants, cafes and takeaways or just chill out and enjoy the sunset with a drink in hand after a nice day at the beach!
