Moore River: Everything You Need To Know
What Is It:
Though relatively close to Perth, the community of Moore River remains wonderfully unspoilt by big city life, remaining instead a perfect coastal location to sit back, relax and enjoy nature. It also doubles as a ripper spot aquatic activities, things like swimming, fishing and canoeing are all encouraged either off the beach, or within the waters of beautiful Moore River and estuary.
Where Is It:
Just over an hour north out of the city, it’s a straight forward drive up the Mitchell Fwy before jumping onto Indian Ocean Dr and then swinging left onto Guilderton Rd. The drive up has a couple of nice coastal stop offs like Two Rocks and Yanchep, and the township itself exists right along where the Moore River Estuary meets the Indian Ocean.
What To Do:
We love a good water body here at Perth Is OK, and Moore River is blessed with two – the estuary and the ocean. This means mo(o)re room for activities! There are plenty of places to hire canoes and paddle boats to explore the Moore River Estuary, while swimming and fishing are great on both sides. There are also plenty of spaces for you to set up a picnic or barbecue for the day, or if you’d like to stay a little longer there’s a few different camping options in the area as well (Guilderton Caravan Park is the go-to, but gets very popular on the weekends).
On land there’s plenty of pristine bushland to explore around the estuary, epic sandboarding at “The Desert” (on the southern side of the river mouth), and fun stretches of sand for experienced 4WD enthusiasts.
What Not To Do:
Go swimming before checking the signs or touching base with the Shire Of Gingin with regards to dangerous organisms that can sometimes occur in Moore River’s warm waters.
