Slow summer days. Calm safe beach for the kids to swim, with enclosed netting swim area and a great place for the kids to jump off the swimming jetty to quickly cool off.
There's an amazing boat structure for the kids to wear off some energy; and for the bigger kids just to the north there's the skate park. Pick up a couple of table tennis bats from KMart and have a family competition.
Have a coffee and relax. There's plenty of options to get something to eat. Walk the jetty or catch the train for a novelty and spare yourself the walk.

Sightseeing
The South West isn't just about wine and food, it also has some of the world's best beaches. If you fancy a short drive these are the places we love. Don't forget to check out our local beach, less than a couple of minutes stroll. With soft white sand, tranquil water and not much of a crowd it's my personal favourite.
Erica's favourite beach. Even better with a coffee in your hand.
Sheltered but with some swell. A great place to learn to surf. Go snorkelling or even diving around the rocks. Maybe hire a SUP and give your Abs a workout.
Just around the corner is the soft white sands Eagle Bay. Worth a look as well although parking can be less available. In summers there are often food vans down here
