From beachside breakfasts to dinner overlooking the marina, Wanneroo’s coast has plenty of reasons to pull up a chair and stay awhile. Stretching from Mindarie to Two Rocks, this part of Perth offers a mix of coastal dining spots, from casual family favourites to waterfront restaurants and venues perched above the dunes. Stop for a coffee after a morning walk, meet friends for lunch or find a spot to watch the sun go down over the Indian Ocean. With each venue offering its own take on coastal dining, there’s plenty to discover along Wanneroo’s 32km stretch of the Sunset Coast.
