Preston Beach
Preston Beach occupies one of the state’s most unspoiled and uncrowded stretches of coastline where you can stroll down to the beach, stake out your own private spot on the mile upon mile of white sands, and enjoy safe swimming for all ages in the crystal-clear waters. It’s been renowned since the early 1950s as a great place for fishing. The beach has a children’s playground, lawn area with shady trees, and free electric barbecues, toilets, and showers all close to the beach.

Golf
You’ll need your own clubs for the challenging, undulating 9-hole Preston Beach Golf Club which encircles the townsite where the kangaroos are your caddy. Members receive a FREE game of golf when staying at our holiday units.

The Yalgorup National Park
Yalgorup National Park, Preston Beach Road - nature park featuring Tuart and Peppermint trees, boardwalk, hiking, picnicking, elongated lakes, birds, and other wildlife. Nanga Brook – bushwalking, mountain biking, canoeing and fishing. The park has around 12,000 hectares of natural bushland and the well-signposted Heathlands, Lake Pollard and Lake Preston Walking Trails will give you all the exercise you could possibly want when you haven’t got your feet up! In Yalgorup National park you will find plenty of local fauna, including Western Grey Kangaroos, emus, brush wallaby’s, brush-tailed possums, echidna, and bandicoots. For those who haven’t visited before, we think you’ll be agreeably surprised by what you find. In fact, some kangaroos might even join you at the holiday home, they often come by for a visit.

Fishing
Fishing is as popular with the locals as it is with holidaymakers. The area is rich in stocks of skippy, herring, tailor, whiting, and salmon.

Walking
Enjoy a leisurely walk along the beach and lull the afternoon away followed by a glass of WA wine as the sun goes down. For outdoor warriors, the beaches are miles long on either side of Preston Beach and are open to four-wheel drives. So, lower your tyre pressure and drop it into high range and explore some of the more remote coastlines just outside Preston Beach.

Drive to Mandurah
If you’re looking for a great lunch spot, why not jump in the car and head to Mandurah and enjoy a snack while overlooking the recently developed foreshore. The calm waters of the marina coupled with the dozens of restaurants and café’s make the 35 min drive well worth it. Not only can you enjoy a fantastic lunch, but the views make for a photographer’s dream. Enjoy crabbing and fishing on the Peel inlet and Mandurah estuary or spend a day discovering Mandurah's vibrant heart and waterways.
