The foreshore and local beaches are focal points for swimmers and walkers, while streets near the coast show a mix of weatherboard cottages, character homes and converted warehouse spaces.

Good bus links and easy access to Fremantle's restaurants, markets and train services make it popular with young families, professionals and creatives who want seaside living without being isolated from urban amenities.
