Yanchep Lagoon — Attraction in Yanchep

I'm a local for over 30 years, have seen alot of change at the lagoon.

Parking can be very difficult, particularly on weekends so would strongly visit before 10am or after 2pm if your travelling up here.

I'm thrilled to share my family's wonderful experience at Yanchep Lagoon! My two granddaughters (12 and 2) and grandson (1) embarked on a lovely walk from my son's house to the lagoon, and they absolutely loved it! The scenery was stunning, and what impressed us most was the peacefulness of the area - it wasn't crowded, making it perfect for families with little ones. The facilities were top-notch, spotlessly clean, and well-maintained. The lookout point was a highlight, offering breathtaking views that were truly memorable. We'll definitely be returning to this hidden gem, Yanchep Lagoon, which has earned its place as a favorite spot for our family. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a serene and beautiful spot to enjoy...
