Last updated February 2026

Discovery Parks Woodman Point offers beachfront holiday accommodation and day visitor access to one of Perth's most scenic coastal locations in Coogee. The park sits directly on Woodman Point Beach, providing families with immediate access to calm, protected waters ideal for swimming and snorkeling. The beach features a long jetty perfect for fishing and crab catching, while the surrounding parklands include playground equipment and barbecue facilities. The location offers stunning views across Cockburn Sound and is known for its excellent snorkeling opportunities around the jetty pylons. **What to Bring** Sunscreen and hats for sun protection. Snorkeling gear to explore around the jetty. Fishing gear if planning to fish from the jetty. Picnic supplies as barbecue facilities are available. Water shoes for rocky areas. **Best Age Range** Best for families with children aged 5-12 years who can safely enjoy beach activities and snorkeling. The calm, shallow waters make it particularly suitable for confident swimmers, while the playground caters well to younger children. **Good to Know** Day visitor parking is available but can fill up quickly on weekends and school holidays. The beach is sheltered and generally safe for swimming year-round. Barbecue facilities and picnic tables are available throughout the park. The jetty is accessible for fishing but supervision is required for young children. **Nearby** Coogee Beach is a short walk north and offers a larger beach area with surf life saving patrol during summer. Adventure World theme park is approximately 10 minutes drive inland for families wanting to extend their day out. **Tips From Other Parents** Arrive early on weekends to secure parking close to the beach area. Bring a crab net and bait - the jetty is excellent for catching blue swimmer crabs. Low tide is the best time for snorkeling around the jetty as visibility is clearer.
