Harbour where kids have fun posing with statues, watch puffer fishes, boats and board walk. Not many eatery, maybe an ice cream parlor, fish and chips, and a brewery.

A great spot to unwind. Family-friendly with nearby playgrounds and a lively market within walking distance. Highly recommend coming on weekends.

There is so much to see and do on Fremantle’s Harbour Front. From brewery’s and restaurants. There are fabulous statues along the way including the Bon Scott statue, so keep a look out for them. There is also the I ❤️ Fremantle sign, so grab a selfie. If visiting the area, do go down and check the area out.
In January school holidays, join free craft sessions at WA Shipwrecks Museum. In summer, visit before 10 am or after 3 pm to avoid peak heat and crowds.
