Two Rocks

Two Rocks is a relaxed seaside community about one hour drive north of Perth. Named after two prominent rocks offshore from Wreck Point, Two Rocks achieved prominence when the yachting marina was constructed here and streets in the town are named after yachts from America's Cup challenges. From Two Rocks you can venture back in time and explore the rich heritage past from mutiny and shipwrecks, to Aboriginal culture and European settlement. Appreciate the underground world in nearby Yanchep National Park limestone caves and meet the Amphipods, miniature shrimp like creatures harking back to the Gondawanan era found nowhere else in the world. Yanchep National Park, 2,842 hectares opened in 1931 and is one of the state's oldest national parks and is a popular attraction for visitors and residents alike with its walking trails, flora and fauna, and rowboat hire. From Yanchep National Park you can also hike the Noongar people's ancient walk on the Yaberoo Budjara Trail and experience the last campsite of the 10th Light Horse Unit. There are a number of recreational activities available and the Two Rocks Marina and shopping complex complements the seaside feel of the area. A full range of dining experiences from cafes and casual dining facilities to a la carte restaurants can be found and accommodation in the area includes bed and breakfast, lodge style accommodation and caravan parks.
