Rous Head Principal Shared Path (PSP) is a sealed dual-use path that runs around the Rous Head harbour area in North Fremantle. It’s a flat and well-marked route for cyclists and pedestrians, with fantastic views over working port facilities, breakwaters, and the Indian Ocean. It links to the wider Perth PSP network, making it a practical and scenic connection between Fremantle and the northern coastal paths.

Raia Roberts Dual Use Path is a shared coastal pathway that runs for around 2.5 kilometres, following the coastline between North Fremantle and Cottesloe along Perth’s western suburbs. The path follows the shoreline, connecting beaches and parks with plenty of local access points and uninterrupted ocean views along the way. The flat, sealed surface makes it suitable for a wide range of users exploring the coast, and it is a very popular route for walkers, runners, and cyclists. The path forms part of the wider Perth coastal route, making it easy to extend your walk or ride further in either direction.

Probably Perth's most iconic beach. There are a good selection of cafes, bars and restaurants in the area, or just chill on the beach.
