Where the river meets the sea!  

Just an hour’s drive from Perth, the Moore River is a popular swimming spot with picturesque views.  

A sandbar separates the river from the ocean, allowing visitors to have the best of both worlds!  

The river’s calm waters make it ideal for swimming, kayaking, canoeing, stand-up paddle boarding and fishing, whilst the stronger ocean waves are great for body boarding.

The foreshore has plenty of shade and grassed areas for a picnic and there are also BBQ pits located on the foreshore and at Gabbadah Park.
