Geraldton's cafes, bars and restaurants are now a breeze to find thanks to a new digital map launched ahead of the Shore Leave Festival.
The Geraldton Food and Beverage Trail is a collaborative effort between Shore Leave Festival, Midwest Food Alliance, Euphorium and the City of Greater Geraldton. The online map features 37 local bars and eateries, providing addresses, phone numbers and websites.
The embedded Google maps link allows users to easily and effectively get directions from home or out and about through their smart devices.
Deputy mayor Natasha Colliver said she was thrilled to see the idea come to fruition
'Geraldton punches well above its weight when it comes to cafes, bars and restaurants,' she said.
'This initiative allows restaurants and bars to be featured on a single map, making them easier to find for visitors and encouraging locals to try out new places.'
The map is now available on the Visit Geraldton website and aims to encourage residents to explore their city's food scene while helping visitors find the best spots to eat and drink.
If you are a food and beverage business and want to be listed on the map, email hello@euphorium.com.au

Geraldton claims silver for fourth year in a row at 2025 7NEWS Top Tourism Town Awards, pipped by Fremantle
Chasing gold continues to be just out of reach for the City of Greater Geraldton in its hunt for tourism glory — but there is a pretty spectacular silver lining. Geraldton won silver for the fourth straight year at the 2025 7NEWS Top Tourism Town Awards on Wednesday night, pipped at the post by Fremantle, while Collie claimed bronze. Fremantle was the only metropolitan finalist among the three categories. Kalbarri achieved back-to-back gold, taking out the tiny tourism town category for the second year running, beating Pemberton and Denham. Exmouth claimed gold for the fourth consecutive year in the small tourism town category, with Bridgetown and York coming in second and third. City of Greater Geraldton mayor Jerry Clune said: 'We are extremely proud to secure another silver award and appreciate everyone who voted for us as well as all the businesses and individuals who continue to offer a warm welcome and fantastic experience to those who visit our town. 'Geraldton has had a huge 12 months tourism-wise, highlighted by the success of the recent Shore Leave Festival and the future looks bright, with the cruise ships scheduled to start returning next year.' Mr Clune congratulated Fremantle and gave a 'huge shout out to fellow Australia's Coral Coast localities' Kalbarri, Exmouth and Denham for their awards. The winners were announced at the 2025 Perth Airport WA Tourism Conference dinner in Fremantle and will now progress to the national awards being held later this year. More than 8000 people voted in this year's WA awards, which have been running for 36 years. The City of Greater Geraldton recently launched its latest tourism campaign, Stay and Play. 'With it, (we) will continue to promote our slice of seaside paradise to visitors,' Mr Clune said. To enter the Stay and Play photo competition, go to the city's website.
