Cape Burney suburb profile

Cape Burney is a small coastal settlement on Western Australia’s Mid West coast, just south of Geraldton, clustered around the mouth of the Greenough River. Housing is low-density, mostly single-storey beach houses and older holiday shacks tucked among dunes and coastal scrub, and the lifestyle centres on surfing, fishing and long shoreline walks. It tends to attract people after a relaxed seaside life rather than urban bustle, with many residents combining weekend beach living and everyday reliance on Geraldton for shops, schools and services. The river entrance, sand dunes and open ocean skies give the place its easy, outdoorsy character.
