In spite of its relative remoteness, Geraldton is a cosmopolitan place. You've got all the attractions and amenities of life in the city, but beautiful rolling hills and pristine beaches are never far away. A stroll through the Batavia Coast Marina will let you take in the area's art, culture and natural beauty all in one spot. Visit the Maritime Museum for some history, shop at the Terrace Markets or enjoy some sport – you're in Australia's windsurfing capital, after all. Then once it's time to get something to eat, you'll find plenty of restaurants in Geraldton to satisfy your palate.

It's no surprise that a number of restaurants in Geraldton are specialised in seafood, serving up the freshest catch of the day on their daily specials boards. Share an oyster tasting plate or Mexican-style fish tacos at a waterside table with a stunning view. If you're more in the mood for a steak or some BBQ, you'll find plenty of options, too, at places that offer smoked meat served with handmade spice rubs and local craft beer. Those looking for a hit of spice are well catered for, too, thanks to the restaurants in Geraldton serving authentic Indian, Chinese and Thai food.
