Highlights: Layton Beach, just north of Fremantle, has soft white sand overlooking Rottnest Island and the Western Australian sunset. Snorkeling and swimming are good here, because the waves are not big, and it is also very suitable for children to play. Just 1.5km north of the beach is a surf break, and at the northern end of the beach there is a pet play area, and the shallows for dogs to swim in will keep them entertained!
