Only 127 km north of Perth is the sleepy fishing village of
Lancelin, a great little getaway, especially for the folks in Perth,
who need a break from the city. There is sailboarding (Lancelin
promotes itself as one of the best sailboarding locations in the
world), white beaches and huge white sand dunes. There is fishing,
and during the crayfish season, it is a hive of activity during the
day around the two jetties. In spring there are fantastic wildflower displays and to the
south are the smaller villages of Ledge Point and Seabird. Lancelin
is also the coastal route to the famous Pinnacles to the north. The village itself stretches along the edge of a natural bay,
protected from the Indian Ocean by outer reefs and islands. These
reefs provide the perfect place for snorkelling, scuba diving,
surfing and wave sailing. There are also many shipwrecks for the
experienced scuba diver to explore. Visitors surf, swim and
body board. Most equipment is for hire in the village.
