C.Y. O'Connor Beach

C.Y. O'Connor Beach extends along the Western Australian coastline, featuring clear waters and a sand shoreline at one meter above sea level.

The beach bears the name of Charles Yelverton O'Connor, an engineer who contributed to infrastructure development in Western Australia during the 19th century.

The location incorporates multiple recreational spaces, including walking trails, picnic areas, and a playground that brings the community together throughout the year.

Visitors can access facilities such as BBQ stations, shaded benches, restrooms, and parking areas, while a coffee caravan operates daily near the picnic space.

An engineered fringing reef positioned 100 meters offshore serves as a monitoring site for the University of Western Australia's research on coastal erosion.
