Attention thrill seekers, adventure lovers and adrenaline junkies – here's an action-packed itinerary just for you.
Rockingham boasts spectacular coastal scenery, close encounters with marine wildlife and unreal adventure experiences. This autumn, rediscover Rockingham with an extreme weekend getaway.
Day One
9:00am: Jump in the car and get ready to learn to kite surf! If you've ever wanted to learn to kite surf, this is the place. Rockingham is known for its incredible windsurfing conditions and is home to an internationally recognised windsurfing bay called The Pond. If you’d like to learn from the best in the business, book a kitesurfing or wing foiling lesson with WA Surf in Safety Bay. You can hire or purchase gear if you’ve already mastered the art of kite surfing, or book a lesson between October and April.
12:00pm: Now that you've ticked off a bucket list item, it’s time to unwind. Head to Whitelakes Brewhouse to sink a few cold ones, eat a bite and soak up the autumn sunshine among picturesque surroundings. Whitelakes beer is finely crafted with fresh ingredients to create consistently great beers for curious minds and adventure seekers.
2:00pm: Check in at your overnight accommodation at Hotel Clipper. This central hotel is in the heart of Rockingham, just 400 metres from the foreshore. Hotel Clipper has a range of stylish and well-appointed guest rooms and conference and function facilities. This seaside hotel also has an in-house café. Café Clipper & Bar is fully licensed and offers a delicious a la carte menu featuring locally sourced produce for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
6:00pm: Experience a slice of Spain at Rústico Tapas & Wine Bar. Located on the Rockingham Foreshore, this hole-in-the-wall beachside tapas bar is perfect for sangria in the sun, sunset drinks or a special degustation dinner under the stars. Rústico Tapas & Wine Bar mirrors Spain's relaxed, warm atmosphere with a traditional dining style focused on a shared, casual eating experience. Our suggestion? Select the five-course degustation menu showcasing the restaurant's best 10 dishes and enjoy fresh, seasonal, delicious tapas incorporating the best local produce. For those wanting to indulge in the ultimate Rústico experience, add wine, G&T or beer pairings for each course.
Day Two
7:00am: Grab a bite to eat and stroll (or hire one of Rockingham's e-scooters) around the revitalised Rockingham Foreshore. Explore the Railway Terrace, a pedestrian-friendly shopping and eat street, Beach Plaza packed with recreational, cultural and heritage attractions, and The Boardwalk featuring timber terraces and 'young-at-heart' attractions connecting to the beach.
9:00am: Time to get your thrills! Head to Perth Wake Park – WA's only cable wake park and enjoy a session on the adrenaline-pumping obstacle course. Or if jet skiing is more your style, hire or embark on a jet ski tour with Jet Ski Tours Perth to explore Rockingham from the water. Experience the hands-on thrill of driving a jet ski and get close to nature with a knowledgeable tour guide. It's an adrenaline blast and eco-adventure all in one.
1:00pm: Enjoy a long, late lunch at Catalano & Co before slowly returning to Perth. Catalano & Co in Baldivis is a family-owned and operated Italian restaurant. With a vast menu packed with homestyle Italian recipes passed down through generations and a flair for current trends, expect a trifecta of exceptional food, service and value for money.
