Cape Peron (Rockingham), 45 minutes’ drive south from Perth, is a long stretch of land, surrounded by the Shoalwater Islands Marine Park. It is a popular place yet with plenty of space and a few entrances to the beach.
With numerous limestone reefs, overhangs, caves and swimthroughs close to the beach, it is an interesting place for exploration whether it is snorkeling, skuba diving or just walking.
There is plenty of marine life to observe.
The waters are quite shallow and safe for swimming.
The underwater is amazing to explore but sand boarding on the beach was fun for our kids too.
Cape Peron (Rockingham) is a great place to visit as a day trip, especially in summer, when the weather is hot.
