There’s no need to travel out of town if you’re looking for a venue to host an important event such as a wedding, engagement party or birthday. Here in Rockingham we have some beautiful and unique places to host your special event, whether it’s a country feel or beachside views, there’s something to suit all tastes.
Providing endless opportunities to get out on the water, improve skills, meet new people and of course, enjoy spectacular views from the club house, Safety Bay Yacht Club is a must-try this summer! There’s something for everyone with membership benefits including access to club house facilities, discounted event entry prices, access to club dinghies, Friday evening social events, school holiday activities and skipper’s ticket, and marine radio courses through ‘Go Sailing’.
There’s no denying the lead up to Christmas can be a little hectic, between last minute shopping, wrapping, grocery shopping and not to mention all the social events, it feels like there’s little time for anything else!
Taking one day out for yourself during the craze is perfectly ok. Here’s how Kim spent the day relaxing in Rockingham before the festivities and you can too!
We’re more than half way through the year and school holidays are finally here. It’s a tough gig thinking of things to do and places to go to keep kiddies and teens entertained for two whole weeks. I’m hoping I can help you all out here by suggesting a few local places where fun is guaranteed. Choose a place for each day, or really tire them out by hitting all three in one day. All places mentioned are indoors, so no need to let the winter weather get in the way of a good time.
It’s no secret that Rockingham is really cool place with many stunning beaches, parks and walks scattered around, but there are also some other incredible walking trails around town too – perfect for rediscovering natural beauty as well as restoring the soul and igniting the explorer within us all.
We all know our little coastal town has a lot to offer but this experience was mind blowing and made every sense within me come alive. If you’ve ever watched Aladdin and wondered what it would be like to fly on a magic carpet, well I reckon I’ve discovered the next best thing, except, instead of a sitting on a carpet you step into a pair of boots. This fantastical thing I’m talking about is called flyboarding with Jetpack Perth!
The Shoalwater Foreshore Reserve is the perfect place to enjoy your smoothie on a summer’s morning, taking in spectacular views of Shoalwater Bay while the kids play.
Located on Safety Bay Road, underneath the Safety Bay Yacht Club, you’ll find Rockingham’s very own local kite shop/school, ‘WA Surf’. WA Surf is the “go to” place for everything kite and foil related. Last week, I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to try my hand at wing foiling.
Off the Beaten Track’s newest walking tour, Sunset and Sparkling Soiree offers a mini hike with a twist! Kim’s latest adventure explores the beautiful Point Peron, overlooking the sunsetting while indulging in a cheese platter and a glass of bubbles.
Perth Wake Park, a mega fun hub for kids, adults and families alike and the only cable wakeboard park in Western Australia. Get on board and pay Perth Wake Park a visit this Summer!
Azacca Kitchen aims to bring the Safety Bay dining scene to a whole new level and provide customers with a memorable experience with their thoughtful, quality food and drink menu – offering a range of share plates and main dishes. With spectacular sunsets and delicious food, this beautiful spot near the beach is a must-try!
