Neighbourhoods
Slow summer days. Calm safe beach for the kids to swim, with enclosed netting swim area and a great place for the kids to jump off the swimming jetty to quickly cool off.
There's an amazing boat structure for the kids to wear off some energy; and for the bigger kids just to the north there's the skate park. Pick up a couple of table tennis bats from KMart and have a family competition.
Have a coffee and relax. There's plenty of options to get something to eat. Walk the jetty or catch the train for a novelty and spare yourself the walk.
There's lots to do for people of all ages.

Sightseeing
The South West isn't just about wine and food, it also has some of the world's best beaches. If you fancy a short drive these are the places we love. Don't forget to check out our local beach, less than a couple of minutes stroll. With soft white sand, tranquil water and not much of a crowd it's my personal favourite.
Erica's favourite beach. Even better with a coffee in your hand.
Sheltered but with some swell. A great place to learn to surf. Go snorkelling or even diving around the rocks. Maybe hire a SUP and give your Abs a workout.
Just around the corner is the soft white sands Eagle Bay. Worth a look as well although parking can be less available. In summers there are often food vans down here
Afterwards checkout the Eagle Bay brewery
