LOCAL BEACHES

This picturesque coastal region boasts a collection of beaches just waiting to be explored. In January 2017, the Council approved the official naming of key beach sites in the Dawesville district to aid emergency service responders during incidents.

• Melros Beach: With its pristine shoreline and crystal-clear waters, Melros Beach is a true paradise for beach lovers. Whether you're looking to soak up the sun, take a refreshing dip in the ocean, or simply relax with a good book, this idyllic spot has it all. The soft sand beneath your feet and the gentle sound of waves crashing against the shore create a sense of tranquillity that is hard to find elsewhere.
• Florida Beach: As one of Dawesville's best-kept secrets, Florida Beach offers a more secluded and intimate setting for visitors seeking peace and quiet. Surrounded by lush vegetation and overlooking panoramic views of the ocean, Florida Beach is perfect for romantic sunset strolls or peaceful moments of reflection. The unspoilt beauty of Florida Beach will leave you feeling rejuvenated and connected with nature.
• Tims Thicket Beach: This beach offers great surf conditions when the swell is just right. But Tims Thicket Beach is so much more for those who enjoy off-road driving, and beach fishing is also a popular activity. While surf conditions can vary, you can stay informed by observing the local conditions and ensuring that you're prepared for the day. Enjoy this beautiful stretch of coastline in a responsible and respectful manner.
• White Hills Beach: A popular 4WD & fishing beach, White Hills Road is located approximately 17km south of Mandurah. As you near the end of the road, an ideal stopover awaits with a breathtaking view of the beach. Before you venture onto the sandy shores, don't forget to reduce your tyres for optimal traction. The beach extends about 2km north to Seal Rock, a dramatic limestone reef outcrop that is tricky to navigate at high tide but a fun experience at low water. The sand can be soft in places, and while a gas cooker is permitted, camping and open fires are not allowed, and littering is strictly prohibited. Enjoy this beautiful stretch of coastline in a responsible and respectful manner.
• Pyramid Surf Beach: Last but not least, Pyramid Surf Beach in Port Bouvard is a mecca for surfers seeking challenging waves. This iconic surf spot combines raw beauty with powerful swells that test even the most experienced riders. Whether you're watching from shore or out on your board catching waves, Pyramid Surf Beach offers an unforgettable surfing experience unlike any other.

Dawesville's beaches are not just places; they are experiences waiting to be lived and memories waiting to be made. Each beach has its own story to tell - from tranquil sunbathing sessions at Melros Beach to heart-pounding surf sessions at Pyramid Beach - there is something for everyone here in Mandurah's coastal paradise. So pack your sunscreen, grab your towel, and embark on a journey through Dawesville's beaches.
