"This small but pretty beach is situated in one of the most historical areas of Western Australia, and is close to heritage landmarks and local attractions, such as the famous Round House and the Maritime Museum. Although it's surrounded by suburban Fremantle, it's a nice little spot to come to for a picnic and/or swim. Access to the beach is via an old whalers' tunnel, a feature that children will absolutely love."

The Best Restaurants in Perth in 2021
"When the husband and wife team behind super popular food truck Comida do Sul opened Madalena’s back in the tail end of 2018 , it was no surprise that it became one of the most talked about restaurants in Perth, and Australia at large. This relaxed boteco has a menu that celebrates local seafood, as well as a wine list curated in conjunction with the guys at Wise Child. You’d think you were on the beach in Barcelona if it wasn’t so classically Perth."

"This laid-back wine bar and restaurant burst on the South Fremantle scene in 2019 and hasn't looked back. Featuring natural, low-intervention wines, craft beers, vermouths, and Western Australian sustainable seafood, Madalena's is the kind of place you can spend hours immersed in conversation over an unpretentious, delicious meal. The fish of the day is almost always a winner, making use of whatever chef Adam Rees can get his hands on."
