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 is something quite wonderful about watching the sunset in the company of others. With sparkling wine and a delicious cheeseboard spread on offer, it was the perfect way to relax and unwind on a Friday night.
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.
Autumn’s cool, breezy mornings and sunshine-filled days are ideal to venture outside and rediscover the natural beauty of Rockingham.
Spinal Life Australia delivered a report called “Accessible Rockingham”, involving staff and volunteers with disabilities visiting 20 points of interest in order to highlight their accessible features and identify changes that could improve the accessibility of the region. The aim was also to educate tourism operators and small businesses on steps they can take to make these changes happen.
Think outside the box and get outside of Perth this Valentine’s month with a getaway to Rockingham, where stunning marine parks, pristine beaches and award-winning restaurants and cafes await.
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.
Whether you’re a first timer or an experienced kayaker, this guided tour guarantees a unique perspective of Rockingham, with Capricorn Seakayaking offering a rich ocean experience that’s great for any age and experience level.
