South Beach
One of many local beaches not to be missed. Summer or winter.
Right in the heart of Fremantle, this beach is THE BEST PLACE to go for an early morning dip. There are showers and little changing rooms so you can wash off before heading for a coffee.

The oldest remaining intact building in Western Australia, was built as a gaol between 1830 and 1831. The Round House had eight cells and a gaoler's residence, which all opened up into a central courtyard. In the 1800s, bay whaling was carried out from Bathers Beach below the Round House.
