Port Beach — Attraction in North Fremantle

Coast offers food and drinks, can get very busy with cars and weddings though. In the arvo, when the sea breeze Freo Doctor cracks in, wingfoilers will come out and play. Great place for viewing the WA sunset, a dog beach is located at the Northern end of Leighton not Port Beach, so it's a good 1km walk. Watch out for Rangers if you walk your dog in the non dog area.

Just around the corner is Rous Head, so you can check out all the wharf activities and massive ships coming, berthing and heading back out ... It's...

Be careful if swimming in the far southern end where the groins are, there are largish rocks submerged which you can't see when sand is stirred up by swell and there are rocks some the size of soccer balls that get picked up by waves crashing on the shoreline and smash into your ankles. Beautiful on a clear flat day so you can see the bottom but be cautious...
