South Beach
A family beach on the south side of town, with gentle waves and clear water. It has large grassy picnic areas, barbecue facilities and a beach café.
South Beach is about 2 km south of the city center. It is the swimming beach most often visited by Fremantle residents. Sheltered by a breakwater and reefs, its waves are gentle, which makes it good for children. Behind the sand are large lawns, barbecue facilities, a children's playground and the South Beach Café, and families picnic here on weekends. A lifeguard-patrolled swimming area operates in summer, and there is a dog-friendly beach section on the north side. You can walk or ride a bike along the seaside cycle path from Fishing Boat Harbour, about 20 minutes, or take the CAT bus.
