C.Y. O'Connor Beach

C.Y. O'Connor Beach, Public beach in City of Cockburn, Australia

C.Y. O'Connor Beach is a sandy beach in North Coogee, Western Australia, running from McTaggart Cove south to Catherine Point north. About 30 metres offshore stands a sculpture of C. Y. O'Connor, marking where he rode his horse into the surf. The shore also holds the hulk of SS Wyola and remnants of a timber barge, while jetty pylons from the former Robb's Jetty Abattoir extend roughly 120 metres into the water.

The beach takes its name from Charles Yelverton O'Connor, the engineer who rode his horse into the surf here and took his own life in 1902. Before that, the beach and adjoining land formed part of Robb's Jetty Abattoir; the jetty was built in the 1870s and closed in 1992, with the jetty and buildings removed in 1994. The hulk of SS Wyola, dismantled for scrap on the beach, remains beside the remnants of the timber barge used in the work.

The beach is also known as the CY O'Connor Reserve, and its name links it to engineer C. Y. O'Connor, who rode his horse into the surf here. The hulk of SS Wyola, dismantled for scrap on the sand, and the timber barge remnants beside it are visible traces of the site's working past.

The beach runs from McTaggart Cove south to Catherine Point north. The old Robb's Jetty pylons extend about 120 metres into the surf and form a shore dive site. The jetty was built in the 1870s and closed in 1992; the jetty and buildings were removed in 1994.

The pylons of Robb's Jetty, built in the 1870s and removed in 1994, still stand in the surf about 120 metres offshore, making a shore dive site. Nearby lie the hulk of SS Wyola, dismantled for scrap, and the remains of the timber barge used in the work.
