    Pet friendly beach located near North Freo and Cottesloe! Would definitely give it a go if you'd like to see a group of fur babies having the time of their life🐶

    Beautiful calm beach. Very popular, took me 20-30 minutes to find parking. There are great cafes near by. The sand is pure white, barely any seaweed, and the water is crystal clear. Great for families and even for those who like a deep swim.

    Nice beach, good for swimming or surfing, or just a play outside. Parking is available, less so during the weekends.

    Great beach with a netted swimming area. Just north of the main swimming area is a dog beach. It can get busy making parking difficult.

    Fabulous beach just north of Fremantle with great expanses of sand and beautiful warm water. Barely anyone around when we were there, and even then there is a lot of space on this beach.

    Usually swim at Port Beach but thought I'd go further up. Pleasantly surprised as beach was just as gorj, of course, but with better facilities including cafe and grassy area for picnics and newish looking, clean shower block. Also loved the development just across...gave it a more eastern states kinda modernity but keeping the beach well hidden from the road.

    (Translated by Google) The beach is in good condition with relatively few people. The disadvantage is that there is no leisure and dining around. (Original) 海滩状况很好,人相对较少。缺点是周围没有休闲娱乐和餐饮。

    Great beach, plenty of space, nice and still for families and dogs. Parking is a bit of a pain so try and get there early if you go!

    Great beach. Lovely, no graffiti, no smashed bottles, the dog beach is just up the way a bit. It helps we had beautiful weather, not too hot, lovely breeze, but not windy, beautiful clear water... lovely. It’s even a patrolled beach to keep us all safe. I’m not a big Fremantle fan... but this beach... lovely.

    Car has been broken into here and I've heard it's a common occurrence. DON'T leave anything in your car. Otherwise it's a great beach

    Nice beach in general. A few rocks depending on what time of year. Usually the waves are dumpy. No dogs here. Best change rooms I've ever seen at a public beach. Good BBQ facilities as well. Beach access is good. Not a surfing spot. Patrolled by SLS on weekends and public holidays. 2 parking areas. More than enough for most days. Train station close if that's relevant to you. Easy bike path joining Port Beach and other north.

    Oh what a feeling just walking on this beautiful beach. It has a beautiful restaurant & Bar overlooking the beautiful beach. My partner and I had a memorable lunch 😋. Unfortunately, you have to sign up to order food but other than that, fantastic restaurant and a breathtaking view.

    Excellent option for family. Awesome infrastructure for beachgoers. I highly recommend this beach.

  • 5/5 Josh H. 2 months ago on Google • 143 reviews New
    Massive beach with lots of room to settle in with a towel or chair. Lots of sand between the shore and dunes. Has a soft mat that leads from the bitumen to the beach so easier to walk if you have lots of gear.

  • 2/5 Philip K. 10 months ago on Google • 127 reviews
    Pictures from the end of March. The beach has too many people bringing dogs (in majority) and the water turns dark quickly.

  • 5/5 Lorena Romero D. 2 months ago on Google • 111 reviews New
    Plenty of parking spots, water was amazing today, sunny and super blue. Highly recommend it.

  • 4/5 Thorntonator 9. 2 years ago on Google
    Good beach. North Leighton is my choice of beach so far. No rubbish and good vibe. Only downside not enough surf for me. Haven't seen a beach dingo (shark) yet so that's a defo positive :)

  • 5/5 yola n. 2 years ago on Google
    Clear, crystal water. Long walking beach. Great shower and change rooms. Green park with Bbq's and picnic area. A cafe, restaurant and Leighton surf club all onsite.

    My favourite beach

  • 4/5 Laura R. 1 year ago on Google
    It’s a beautiful long dog beach with cafes and restaurants (market space, bib & tucker, the orange box etc.) at the south end of the beach. Perfect for a long walk on hard, even sand. Some areas are a bit dangerous to get into the ocean because of rocks that are not always visible at first. In the afternoon the wind picks up, so best time is to go in the morning. Be aware that most likely some cute dogs will run up to you to say hi :)

    Plenty of water and sand

  • 5/5 Travis H. 3 years ago on Google
    One of many lovely beaches in WA. Leighton isn't so busy as Cottesloe with parking a lot easier. There isn't any toilets or change rooms though. We were near the dog beach so there were dogs wandering from there so may not be a great choice if you have kids that aren't keen on dogs running through their sandcastles.

    The beach used to be cleaner but still a nice spot for family and friends.

  • 5/5 Aoife G. 5 years ago on Google
    One of the best beaches in the Perth metro region. Plus heaps of stuff to do around Freo afterwards. Come in the morning to avoid the Freo doctor in the arvo (wind)!

👍👍 One of the nicest beaches in the area, although they're all pretty beautiful! This one is never very busy and the rolling white sand hitting the bright blue ocean is mesmerising!

👍👍 We visited after lunch and have a lovely walk along the beach. I would say it's a walkway more than a beach. Not much sand and water play. But the well maintained walkway and the bridges connected to it are all wonderful. Next time will visit for sunset.
