The Giants
Thomas Dambo’s ‘Giants of Mandurah’ is a free outdoor exhibition of 5 giant wooden sculptures celebrating the extraordinary beauty and natural assets of Mandurah’s waterways, wetlands, bushland and wildlife.

Wildlife Watching
Over a hundred wild bottlenose dolphins call Mandurah home, so you are sure to see them showing off as they dart across the waves. Mandurah is also home to many native birds, kangaroos, emus and possums. So keep an eye out.

Beach days & 4WDing

Tim’s Thicket
Being the closest 4wd beach to Perth it will get busy. With the right swell there can be good surf, otherwise Tims Thicket is known to be a good fishing spot. There are parts of the beach that are really protected and shallow which make it great for families and kids. Other parts of the beach are quite rocky so just pick your spot wisely. It does get really busy down here on a nice day so plan to arrive early to get the best spots.
The beach itself is actually not that long. The first entrance to the beach is the best bay. It’s protected and calm with no rocks… perfect for families.

White Hills Beach
The beach is a part of Yalgorup National Park and access is via White Hills Road, about 17km south of Mandurah on Old Coast Road. White Hill Road quickly turns a moderately corrugated hard sand road. Near its end, when you can see the beach, is an ideal spot to pull over and reduce your tyres. To get onto the beach at the end of White Hill Road, you drive down into a dune swale, and then up a large dune and over to the beach. White Hills extends about 2kms north to Seal Rock (limestone reef outcrop tricky to get round at high tide but fun at low water).

Preston Beach
Driving south, its 22kms to Preston Beach. The sand can be soft in places; its a beach that varies and that’s part of the adventure of 4WDing!
4WDing is only permitted on the beach; access to the dunes is prohibited and this includes sandboarding. Only 4WD vehicles licensed for the road are permitted to use the beach; no motorbikes, four wheelers or dune buggies. A gas cooker permitted, but please no other fires and no camping and take your rubbish out with you.

Dawesville Foreshore Reserve
Offers basic facilities such as parking, boat ramp, ablution block, BBQ, and picnic areas, making it an ideal destination for a family day out.
The reserve is perfect for picnics, BBQs, and launching boats to explore the estuary. Taking a walk along the estuary also provides a stunning view of the bridge. Dawesville Foreshore Reserve Mandurah is a perfect destination for families looking for an excellent recreational spot with beautiful views, basic facilities, and plenty of activities to engage in. The reserve is accessible year-round, though it is most popular in summer when the weather is warm and sunny.
