Things to Do in Mandurah

A long, well-maintained grassy strip along the Mandurah Estuary with a playground, picnic areas, and walking paths.

🕐 Open 24 hours daily

💡 Bring your own picnic blanket and arrive before 10am on weekends to grab a shaded spot near the Pirate Ship playground for the kids.

A large timber playground shaped like a whale, with a boardwalk, jetty for crabbing, and stunning views over the estuary.

🕐 Open 24 hours daily

💡 Low tide is prime time for spotting blue manna crabs from the jetty; bring a heavy-duty bucket and a net if you want to try crabbing.

A 2.5km boardwalk loop through paperbark wetlands and tidal flats, excellent for birdwatching and spotting black swans.

🕐 Open 24 hours daily. Car park gate locked at dusk.

💡 Early morning is best for bird activity; take insect repellent and wear closed shoes as the boardwalk can get slippery after rain.

A waterfront memorial with a shaded lookout platform offering panoramic views across the estuary and towards the Indian Ocean.

🕐 Open 24 hours daily

💡 Come at sunset for the best light over the water—it's also a quiet spot for photo ops without the foreshore crowds.

A small, locally-run museum covering Mandurah's Aboriginal heritage, early settler history, and the region's changing ecology.

🕐 Tuesday to Friday 10am–4pm, Saturday 10am–2pm, closed Sunday and Monday

💡 The volunteer guides often have personal stories that bring the exhibits to life—ask about the old jarrah timber jetty model.
