What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Woodman Point Beach is a beloved local spot praised for its clean, calm waters and ample shaded picnic areas, making it ideal for families and dog owners. While some infrastructure like the shop could be improved, its natural beauty and relaxed atmosphere are consistently highlighted as major positives.
"It would be one of the best beaches on the south side of Perth. The picnic area is lovely please to eat your lunch with large tress that cover you in shade on a hot sunny day. There's even clean public toilets there. You can even buy fishing baits from the venting machine near the toilets. The bush walk around the area is amazing. I will be going back weekly, now that I've come across this beautiful place."

"Lovely grass and paths right up to undercover picnic tables which is fantastic for wheelchair access!
Path down to the beach and little jetty has a gap of about 5mtrs of sand so wheelchair couldn't get to jetty. Busselton has rubber mats secured to sand so wheelchair users and parents with prams can get across sand to jetty, would love to see that done here."
