Wide, clean beach with normally calm waters. Great for families and swimmers of all ages. Beautiful grassed area under big trees. Good kiosk and toilet/shower facilities. Plenty of parking.

This area was once the heart of old working class Freo..now trendy but the many Italian families who lived (and olive) here have left their mark. The kiosk restaurant on the beach has great food...come earl on the weekend it is so popular. Afterwards go for a swim then walk into downtown Freo for a coffee.

Close to Fremantle, great grassy area for picnics, amenities and a kiosk. Great place to watch the famous Perth sunsets with an afternoon dip in the ocean.

Loved it here! It's a must visit! Loved the fact tht it had a separate beach just for dogs! Highlight of my day was seeing a Bullog with a life jacket on learning to swim!

Obviously a quiet time of year, but this beach was lovely. Crystal clear water, very few people around and enough amenities (cafes, toilets, parking etc) to make this a great morning. The Pickled Fig was great too!
