Moore River

Edwards St, Guilderton

See route

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.  


Insider Info



Take the steps up to the lookout for a gorgeous view.
