"Perth's safest swimming beach, Cottesloe has cafes, pubs, pine trees and fantastic sunsets. From Cottesloe train station (on the Fremantle line) it's 1km to the beach; there's a free shuttle that runs between the... Historic Building in Fremantle"
"While Perth has an endless coastline of picturesque beaches, Cottesloe Beach, happens to be a favorite for travelers and locals, alike. Cottesloe has an ocean way for pedestrians and cyclists, and cute cafes and restaurants right on the water."
"Snap the giant lobsters in the 40-metre aquarium, capture the sun setting from the jetty or just sit back and relax in one of the beachside restaurants with your phone at the ready. Make sure you checkout the J Shed, just next to the Harbour, with its attention-grabbing rainbow coloured doors."
"IT has a variety of things to do like high speed jet rides, charter sailing rides, the maritime museum and many options of restaurants. Located in the heart of Fremantle, the harbor is home to more than 400 boats and is the fun centre of Fremantle, surrounded by many bars and eateries."
"Finish at the large and bustling Little Creatures Brewery on Fishing Boat Harbour. Dine on fish and chips at Kailis' Fish Market Café or watch the sunset over dinner at the Bathers Beach House. Catch a train and you will return to Perth in 25 minutes."
"Spread across two floors of a heritage listed warehouse, Japingka Aboriginal Art Gallery is home to a curated collection of works from indigenous artists from across Australia, with all works ethically sourced using fair trade practices. 47 High St, Fremantle"
"A serene and sprawling public space close to the waterfront, Esplanade Park is great for picnics, sunbathing, or a spin on the giant Skyview (Ferris) wheel.

"Would you believe this small planting trees initiative taken by Fremantle government in 1908 turned out to be a scenic park?. Yes, Esplanade Park’s first plant was planted in 1908. Right now the park has more the 100 mature Norfolk Island Pines."
"For a big day out a little further out of Perth, Cohunu Koala Park down in Byford is a great chance to get your kids acquainted with some native Australian wildlife. There are parrots, emus, kangaroos, owls, deer and of course, koalas. There’s even some replica dinosaurs (we’re sensing a bit of a Jurassic theme on this list) and a kids train to choo choo around on."
"Add in a dash of Middle Eastern influences and a partnership with burger hotshots Juicy Buns, and you’re onto a winner. Even better than all these great elements though, is the community-building and philanthropic approach they’ve fostered since day one. 19 Tribute Street West, Shelley"
"Western Australia’s Margaret River and Swan Valley wine regions produce some of the best wine in the world. Here are our favourite places to sample the best wine WA has to offer."
"Freo's most pleasant public space is The Esplanade, a broad green park between the commercial centre and the Fishing Boat Harbour. Overlooking it is the Ball & Chain, part of the venerable Esplanade Hotel. Built on an early convict housing site (hence the name), the Ball & Chain is an up-to-date reinvention of the classic pub."
