Two Rocks
Two Rocks is the furthest northern suburb within the Perth metropolitan region. The commercial and shopping centre for the Two Rocks local community – Two Rocks town centre, is a 60-minute drive north of Perth CBD.
Two Rocks Marina
Two Rocks Marina is located right next to the Two Rocks town centre.
The town centre is on high ground about 15m higher than the marina. From the town centre, you will have great top-down views of the marina as well as the Indian Ocean.
So, why not park your car at the shopping centre carpark, have a walk around the marina before your grocery shopping?
The pedestrian connections from the town centre to the marina are via steps. Unfortunately, there is no direct wheelchair access down from the town centre to the marina.
Walk around the marina, and also try to walk on the 500m southern breakwater gravel path to the harbour entrance to view with a different perspective of the marina, the shoreline, and the two very prominent rocks offshore not far from Two Rocks beach that give the Two Rocks suburb its name. You can walk to the rocks during low tides.
Leemans Landing
If you feel energetic, you may walk from the marina in the southern direction on Jordan Street to Leemans Landing, which is 500m from the marina. However, you will have to walk on grass on the kerbside alongside Jordan Street. Hopefully, a sealed walking path will be built soon to connect Leemans Landing and Two Rocks Marina. A sealed walking path should improve connectivity and enhance the walking experience.
Leemans Landing is a historic site where Leeman and his men landed ashore searching for the survivors of the sunk ship Vergulde Draeck. Here you have beach access, a children’s playground, BBQ, toilets, and showers. This is a very good place for family outings in the summer months.
Leemans Landing is a good lookout point with unblocked views of the Two Rocks beach and the Indian Ocean.
