1hr drive south of Perth, Mandurah is a vibrant and versatile city that offers a myriad of pursuits and leisure activities - noted for its stunning waterways.

Visitors to the City and surrounding Peel Region can enjoy a variety of accommodation options and holiday or cultural activities that stretch from the Indian Ocean to the Darling Escarpment.

Famous for its protected waters, excellent beaches, superb fishing and crabbing, international golf facilities and Mediterranean climate of warm summers and mild winters, the City of Mandurah promotes an ideal lifestyle and visitor destination. The Mandurah Crab Festival in autumn is the city's major festival event of the year.

The city's restaurants, craft and souvenir shops, art galleries and cultural buildings are set around the blue green waters of Mandjar Bay. At night the bay lights up and people migrate to the waterfront to enjoy a barbeque or dine at the many cafes. In the daytime, parks come alive with walkers, picnickers, paddlers, people fishing and crabbing and children at play.

Mandurah's southern boundary is Yalgorup National Park where Lake Clifton contains a colony of living wonder fossils known as thrombolites. A walkway across the lakes' shallows allows close-up viewing.
