IS FREO’S SOUTH BEACH IN THE INNER HARBOUR?

Posted in Uncategorized by freoview on October 25, 2020

The VISIT FREMANTLE Facebook marketing page published this lovely photo of South Beach this morning, accompanied by following text:

Visit Fremantle

With the weather warming up, South Beach is the perfect destination to enjoy a swim, a picnic or a barbecue. Located in Fremantle’s inner harbour, South Beach is just a two minute walk from cafes, restaurants and shops on South Terrace. Enjoy breakfast at Third Wheel or grab a coffee and delicious bread to go from Wild Bakery South Freo to start your morning off right.

I have only been living in Fremantle for just under 30 years, but was never aware that South Beach is in the Inner Harbour. Maybe Visit Fremantle had a few too many AFL Grand Final drinks last night? ; >))

    According to North Coogee residents, South Beach historically goes all the way down to the South Fremantle Power Station!
    According to Fremantle Ports (https://www.fremantleports.com.au/the-port/port-map), the Inner Harbour is definitely the area between North Mole/North Quay and South Mole/Victoria Quay and the Outer Harbour is down at Kwinana.
    The area between Inner and Outer Harbours is not part of the port at all – and, more importantly, South Fremantle/South Beach has a character all its own. It’s part of Fremantle (geographically and socio-culturally) but it’s also quite distinct from it – and long may it remain so.
