What to do and see in Fremantle, Western Australia: The Best Beaches

January 31, 2022 Agatha Simes

Fremantle (Freo), Perth’s maritime center, offers a pleasant change of pace from the nearby state capital. From the Victorian Fremantle Markets to the convict-built History Museum to the strikingly modern Maritime Museum, Fremantle is an elegant and energetic spot. Head south and enjoy patio dining on the Cappuccino Strip, famous for its great beaches and boisterous nightlife.

Lady Edeline Beach

Reviewed By 340StephenL - Cambridge, United Kingdom

There are many great beaches on the island. All visible as you cycle the island. Any one is a great place to stop and swim. Warning take your own drinks once you leave the ferry area. There is little fresh water on the island.

Parakeet Bay

Reviewed By Granules2013 - Darwin, Australia

Made this our last last spot when cycling around Rottnest island. Spent the most time here after a long day of exploring. Good to spend some extended time on the nice beach, does get pretty popular sometimes but it's so nice. Great snorkeling and diving too at each end around the rocks.

Wide white sand and areas that are dog friendly. Easy access from the train or plenty of parking bays. Good swimming and a safe, clean beach looking out over the Indian Ocean. Enjoy the sunsets.

Port Beach

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

In days gone by, we would pack our beah umbrella and Esky in our station wagon and head for Port Beach. We would have our picnic and then, after waiting half an hour, we would head for the water. Today Port Beach is much the same. The water is usually placid and it's a favourite picnic spot for young families. It's one of the best beaches in the Metro area. The beach gets a battering in the Indian Ocean's winter storms, but the new barrier seems to be working. It is in North Femantle, near the port, as the name implies. It's a great place to see the sun set in the West.

Stunning white sand beach with great snorkelling! Easily accessible via the Hop On and Hop Off bus or a short 20mins bike ride from town centre, which is part of the fun getting there!
