Yanchep

Yanchep has a special place in the hearts of many Perth residents as a childhood getaway from Perth. But if it’s been a while since you’ve visited, you’ll be amazed at the changes. The Capricorn land development has resulted in the sale of 500 new homes and is set to transform the area with new homes, natural landscaping, paths along the foreshore, wooden boardwalks, lookouts and more. The new beachside community is expected to house 9,000 people in 3,000 homes within the next 15 years.

If you’re looking for more immediate attractions, don’t miss a visit to Yanchep National Park. This treasured natural haven north of Perth offers the ideal family day out. Pack a picnic to enjoy beside the kangaroos and ducks near the lake, admire koalas along the Koala Boardwalk, descend deep beneath the earth and marvel at jewel-like cave formations or join an Indigenous cultural tour. There are also a host of walks through the park, as well as free barbecues and favourites like the award-winning Chocolate Drops cafe and the historic Yanchep Inn.
