Things to do in Eglinton, Western Australia

Parks in Eglinton

Allara, Eglinton is a community inspired by how life should be. A vibrant, sustainable coastal community, Allara is not only a hub of activity, but it’s a part of the City of Wanneroo’s thriving northern corridor, home to a wealth of activities for the whole family to enjoy.

Below we share some of our favourite activities to try this weekend.

 

 

SPEND THE DAY AT KINKUNA PARK

In the heart of Allara, you’ll find Kinkuna Park, which means a fun day with the kids is only a short stroll from your front door. Bring your picnic supplies to make the most of the shaded picnic tables and BBQ zones. Enjoy the complimentary music while the kids play on the playground or splash and cool off in the Water Play Zone.

 

FIND OUT WHAT’S ON IN YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY 

Allara has a dedicated Community Development Coordinator who coordinates free events for residents and the wider community throughout the year. Klub Kinkuna, movie nights and food truck events are all regulars on the community calendar. Keep up to date with What’s On here.

 

VISIT YANCHEP LAGOON

A short drive from Allara you’ll find Yanchep Lagoon. This swimming beach is perfect for cooling off in or enjoy an afternoon splash with the kids! The Yanchep Beach Lagoon Cafe overlooks the lagoon with good home cooked food. The hot chips are particularly delicious!

 

EXPLORE YANCHEP NATIONAL PARK

Pack a picnic or stop off at the National Park Cafe when you spend the day exploring Yanchep National Park. Western gray kangaroos and birds call these tranquil parklands home. Stroll along the raised board ward to spot the koalas in the trees. If you’re lucky, you might be in time for koala feeding time!

The Crystal Caves are another famous destination to explore. The underground limestone cavern is covered with stalactites and stalagmites; beautiful and educational.

 

EXPLORE YOUR LOCAL BEACHES

Beautiful beaches surround Eglinton. Choose from Shorehaven Beach, Alkimos Beach or Yanchep Beach and lagoon to cool off and escape the heat. In cooler months, rug up and enjoy a beach walk!

 

WATCH THE SUNSET 

Western Australian sunsets are world renowned. Pinks, purples and burnt orange light the sky as the sun sets over the water. Pack your snacks and towel and head to your favourite beach or parkland to experience this delight. Luminous park is one of our favourite places to enjoy sunrise or sunset, here in the heart of Allara.

 

HEAD UP THE COAST TO TWO ROCKS

Two Rocks is rich in things to do. One of the best fishing spots in Perth, Two Rocks is a favourite with local and tourist fisherman. The Tavern at the Rocks is delicious for lunch or a cold beverage.

Stop off at the Atlantis Marine Park for a photo opportunity with the King Neptune Statue you’ll find there.

 

FAMILY TRIP TO MOORE RIVER

Moore River has everything you need for a family day out, a naturally unspoiled destination. Canoeing, Kayaking, 4-Wheel Driving, Diving and Snorkelling are all here, ready to be enjoyed. 35 minutes from the heart of Eglinton, you’ll escape to a holiday destination famous for where the river meets the sea.

 

The Pinnacles and Lancelin Dunes aren’t too far away, so if adventure is more your thing, you’ll find endless opportunities in the Moor River Region.
