Leighton Beach
A long white-sand beach in North Fremantle, quieter than Cottesloe and famous for its sunsets and kitesurfing.
Leighton Beach lies in North Fremantle. It runs from the harbor breakwater in the south to Mosman Park in the north, with several kilometers of white sand facing the Indian Ocean. It is quieter than Cottesloe. Lifeguards patrol the swimming area in summer, and once the afternoon sea breeze picks up, kitesurfers often gather. Cafés and grassy areas line the beach, and in the evening you can watch the sunset and the silhouettes of cranes at the port in the distance. To get there, take the train to North Fremantle Station and walk about 10 minutes, or ride a bike along the coast from Fremantle.
