Considerations

  • I really really really really cannot think of anything good to say about this jetty. I cannot think of really any risks, cautions (other than boredom) that diving here would bring. I guess the only thing is that I have seen kids playing here jumping in to the water and people fishing. So if a kid ends up landing on you just wait a few minutes and hopefully a fisher-person will catch them for you.

  • I have to say I don't know if this jetty is allowed to have water crafts pull up along side it.

Directions

  • Getting here is easy enough, especially if you know the Rockingham Wreck Trail as it is just 2 minutes down the road from here. Its about 45 minutes from Perth CBD and 30 minutes from Fremantle.

  • From the Wreck Trail just follow the road south this turns into Harrison St at the corner of Harrison St and Fisher St turn towards the beach, the jetty is at the end. The photograph here in this map is the old jetty and it has been re-developed so looks a little bit different these days, You can't miss it though as it has Palm Beach on the sign at the shore end of the jetty.

  • As always do all your final checks (BWRAF), in the car park.

  • Once you have geared up walk down to the beach and make your way under the jetty, simple enough. Once you have had the life drained out of you because its that boring, make your way back.

  • That's it, I really could of written all this on a back of a matchbox and still had space to spare to write my shopping list.
In good conscience I could not let you go here without something to brighten up your day.
  • Ok there is a little thing you can do once you realise how naff this jetty is (currently).

  • Line yourself up with the jetty and either the floating pontoon or its anchor buoy which is at a heading of 90 degrees. If you follow this path you will skim along the drop off slope and on this course you will come across a few little things that have been sunk in the shallows, nothing fantastic but a lot better than the jetty.

  • And last but not least I have heard there is a small wreck in a NW'ly direction about 80 meters from the end of the jetty but I haven't had time to check it out yet.
