| Mettam's Pool |
|
Surrounded by natural reef, Mettam's is just like a swimming pool in the ocean. |
|
With no swell during the summer, Mettam's Pool is very popular with families and the elderly, who just want to swim safely without any wave action. There is ramp access all the way down to the water, which is ideal for pram and wheelchair users. |

Mettam's Pool is located in a protected marine park, and makes a great starting point for a mini snorkelling expedition. There are plenty of reefs to explore both north and south of the area. During winter, Mettam's Pool turns into a surfing beach. To view this amazing transformation, read our Surfing Article. Untouched by commercial development Mettam's Pool is a picturesque corner of Perth's coastline, with a friendly atmosphere to match. |

PERTH ALERT: Even a day at Mettam's Pool can be ruined by Perth's regular afternoon sea breeze, known locally as the "Fremantle Doctor". Life On Perth suggests you should be down the beach no later than mid morning. The sea breeze is so strong that on some days, beach umbrellas arrive home before their owners |
