Yanchep Lagoon
One of the best perks about living in Yanchep is being so close to the coast. Yanchep Lagoon is a stunning beach protected by a reef situated 20 metres offshore, making shallow waters and low waves perfect for kids. Overflowing with shallow rock pools, bright coral and friendly sea life, the calm waters of the lagoon are the perfect place for your little ones to try their hand at snorkelling. If fishing is more your thing, the southern end of the lagoon and Fisherman’s Hollow are great spots to bag a snapper or two.
Yanchep Lavender Farm
If you’re searching for a day out that’s as pretty as a picture, look no further than Yanchep Lavender Farm. Just 10 minutes down the road, you’ll find Perth’s biggest operating Lavender Farm. Free to visit, the farm has a stunning variety of lavender plants, as well as other great flowers and herbs. With a gift shop stocked with thoughtful goodies like lavender oils, soaps and lotions and a cafe selling delicious eats like lavender ice-cream, cookies and lots more.
