Bathers Beach
A small cove at the foot of the Round House, where you can have a drink on the sand while watching the Indian Ocean sunset at a licensed beach bar.
Bathers Beach is a small beach on the south side of the headland where the Round House stands. It was the site of a whaling station in the 19th century. Today it is the closest beach to the city center, with shallow water and gentle waves. Bathers Beach House, beside the sand, is one of the rare licensed venues in Western Australia that serves drinks on the beach. In the evening, you can sit in a beach chair with a drink and watch the Indian Ocean sunset. On some summer Thursday evenings, an art night market takes place here. You can reach the beach by walking down the steps from the Round House or by taking the whalers' tunnel. It is next to Fishing Boat Harbour and the Shipwrecks Museum.
