Perth's North West corridor is a coastal playground, with so much waiting for you to see and explore. Here's what a perfect day would look like for you at Eglinton Village.
8am – Beach walk
Start your day right with a refreshing stroll along Eglinton Beach, just a three-minute drive from Eglinton Village. If the weather’s warm, you can head out for a swim, or enjoy a paddle in the shallows with the kids.
With stretches of pristine white sand and turquoise blue water to discover, you’ll find fun and memories around every corner.
Eglinton Beach isn’t the only beach in the vicinity, either. Just a little further down Marmion Avenue is Alkimos Beach, home to the Alkimos Surf Life Saving Club.
10am – Fun at the park
Once you’ve towelled yourself off, it’s time to continue the fun at the local park. Just a short stroll from Eglinton Beach, you’ll find the Lighthouse Park.
The main feature of the Lighthouse Park is its towering 8.5m red and white lighthouse. There’s also an interactive sand play area, play structures, basketball court, a large grassed area, football posts and a cricket pitch.
Take a few snacks with you and get ready for some good outdoor family fun.
12pm– Lunch
All that fresh air is bound to help you work up a hearty appetite. When you’re ready for some lunch, there are a number of local cafés and restaurants ready to explore.
The Beach House in Jindalee is just one of these options, with family friendly dining located right on the coast. From snacks to something more substantial, they’ve got you covered.
2pm – Relaxed shopping
If you’re feeling like a little retail therapy, you’ll find lots of local shopping options to choose from. The Gateway in Alkimos is ideal for your essentials, while Butler Central Shopping Centre offers a large precinct for you to browse through at your leisure.
A little further down Marmion Avenue, the huge Ocean Keys Shopping Centre includes over 110 specialty stores. Happy shopping!
4pm – Coastal drinks
After a busy day, you deserve to take a moment to put your feet up. Mindarie Marina is the place to do it, located just a 20-minute drive from Eglinton Village.
Raise a glass to a day well spent at The Boat, the anchor of Mindarie Marina. Take in the views over chilled drinks and good food and plan your next perfect day.
7pm– Back home
Thanks to the central Marmion Avenue, bus services and the future Eglinton Train Station, making your way back to Eglinton is easy. Plus, with so many other recreational, dining and retail options to choose from, every day brings something new.
