Yanchep Lagoon is a popular swimming and snorkelling beach boasting calm and crystal clear water, with waves averaging 1 metre. Beautiful azure blue is mesmerising!
King Neptune statue: nowhere else in Australia can claim to have a giant limestone statue of the Roman god of the sea, as the centrepiece of town. But Two Rocks claims it! On a small hill overlooking the ocean, you are greeted by a 10 metre wide-eyed, grinning, bearded face of King Neptune, who’s of course, carrying a big trident. It used to be part of the former Atlantis Marine Park which opened to much fanfare in 1981, but closed just 9 years later, amid its billionaire developer Alan Bond’s financial woes. Neptune has been eroding there ever since….
Sovereign Park Viewing Deck…very disappointing for this local family because of all the seaweed that had blown in….but one of the young ones decided to jump in briefly….
Cervantes’ Lobster Shack, hardly a ‘shack’ today. It can welcome up to 700 guests, priding itself on its ‘pot to plate’ approach. David Thompson began this family dynasty living out of a coastal shack settlement in the 60’s with his 3 sons driving his boat ‘Sea Tips’ and fishing for the finest WA rock lobster. The now third generation implemented a quota management system in 2009, and it’ s one of the most sustainable lobster industries in the world. Delish lobster too!
