Exploring
Lancelin
Western Australia
If you’re traveling with your family around Australia, you need to stay at this hidden gem of a town called Lancelin. Nestled along the coast, Lancelin may be small, but it packs a big wow factor. From thrilling outdoor adventures to family-friendly accommodations, traveling to Lancelin as a family offers a perfect blend of excitement and relaxation.
Surfing at Back Beach
One of the highlights of our trip was surfing at Back Beach. This fun, open beach boasts crystal clear waters and offers a fantastic spot for both novice and experienced surfers. The beach is easily accessible, with a car park nearby, or you can drive up and over the dunes for an added element of adventure. The kids loved the freedom of the open space, and the waves provided just the right amount of challenge.
Fishing at the Jetty
Fishing enthusiasts in the family will be thrilled with the opportunities at the Lancelin Jetty. Brad caught a massive snapper off the jetty, earning him fifteen minutes of fame around town. We also had luck catching squid, a trumpeter, and a herring. The excitement of reeling in such a variety of fish made for some unforgettable family moments. The jetty is a great spot to relax and enjoy the beautiful coastal scenery while waiting for a bite.
Exploring the Dunes
The Lancelin Sand Dunes are nothing short of incredible. We spent an entire day exploring these massive dunes, which offer a range of activities for all ages. You can hire sand boards, ATVs, and motorbikes, or simply drive around in your car. The vastness of the dunes means you have plenty of space to enjoy without worrying too much about other visitors. The kids had a blast racing down the dunes on sand boards, and the thrill of riding an ATV was a highlight for everyone.
Staying at Experience Lancelin Holiday Park
Our stay at Experience Lancelin Holiday Park was fantastic. Located on the south side of town, the park offers beach access, a caravan café, a playroom, an indoor heated swimming pool and spa, and the biggest jumping pillow in Australia. The park also features a great playground for the kids. The large, recently renovated sites and family-friendly facilities made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The park’s popularity became apparent over the weekend when it filled up quickly, a testament to its appeal and convenient proximity to Perth.
Traveling to Lancelin as a family provides a perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and quality time together. Whether you’re surfing at Back Beach, fishing at the jetty, or exploring the vast sand dunes, Lancelin offers something for everyone. Our stay at the Experience Lancelin Holiday Park added to the charm of this hidden gem, making it a must-visit destination for families exploring Australia.
