Yanchep Lagoon

Great place for a snorkelling session, however there is often a strong current making life difficult to stay in one spot. Dont let kids swim unsupervised.

It's my closest beach and my Happy Place. I love the landscape, the lagoon, the cleanliness, the facilities and basically everything of it!

Stunning views, images from winter in July/Aug too! Much better beachwide views than Perth, and close enough away for a beautiful weekend trip. Stunning, coastal WA at it's finest!

The water was warm and clear. Absolutely A1+ for a swim and relaxing in the sun.

Ramp beach access, showers and change rooms availableBrilliant place for snorkellingGrassed area with picnic tables and BBQ facilitiesOr very close to Orion Cafe for a meal or ice cream.

Family-friendly swimming spot for an all-day or few hour visit. Plenty of parking, but get there early during holidays.

I love this place so much. Many childhood memories down at the beach.There is nowhere like this in Perth.best time is to go before the seabreeze comes in, and if you want to make the most of snorkeling, you just have to go on an Easterly (or better yet, a North Easterly) wind.Local council deserves a big pay on the back for how they have managed growth in the area, with good car parking and facilities (surf club), on the beach itself.

One of the best beaches with great variety of conditions to suit any type of person or family. Calm waters in the Granny's Pool"

Yanchep Lagoon is a beautiful beach surrounded by a rocky outercrop and is a great spot to watch the sunset over the ocean.The water is clear which is perfect for snorkeling. However, although the beach has an active life guard tower with a supervised flag area, the current is strong with dumping waves, submerged rocks and doesn't have a shark net.Don't let kids swim unsupervised.The wind can also be very strong, sending sand particles flying towards you.Very close to the beach are public toilets and changing facilities by the Yanchep S.L.S.C building. However, when I went, these were not very clean and had a foul odour.On the main road, there is free parking as well as a cafe.Dogs, vehicles, fishing and camping are not allowed.
