Elizabeth Quay Jetty, jetty in Perth, Western Australia
Elizabeth Quay Jetty is a pier on the Swan River in Perth that extends out over the water, offering direct access to the river from the city. The structure features sturdy platforms with safety railings and mooring spaces where boats can dock, while the calm waters and open views make it a comfortable place to stand and observe.
The jetty was built in the early 2010s as part of the Elizabeth Quay development project, which aimed to reconnect the city with the Swan River. This modern addition reflects Perth's shift toward making waterfront spaces more accessible and usable for residents and visitors alike.
The jetty serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors come to enjoy the river and watch boats pass by. People often spend time here reflecting, taking photos, or simply observing the water and the city skyline beyond.
The jetty is easily accessible on foot from Perth's city center and has parking nearby for visitors and boaters. Facilities include toilets, a food and drink stand, and a bar, though swimming is not permitted in the inlet for safety reasons.
The jetty provides 24 short-stay public boat moorings typically used for stays up to three hours, while larger vessels can use ten swing moorings just outside the inlet. This arrangement makes the space flexible for different types of boats and their varying needs.
