Coogee Suburb Profile

Many locals have known for a long time that Coogee is special. Those white sandy beaches and ocean views have been a drawcard for years, but only in the last few years have developers caught on to the value of this coastal neighbourhood.

Only covering a few square kilometres, a good portion of which covers parks and impressive homes making the most of their coastal vantage point, it’s hardly surprising families and retirees have chosen this idyllic spot to call home.

Living in Coogee offers the perfect balance of coastal serenity and modern convenience, with its proximity to beaches, parks, schools and popular cafés. This family-friendly neighbourhood is highly sought after for its relaxed lifestyle and stunning natural surroundings.

Some of Perth’s most desirable properties can be found in Coogee, especially on Perlinte View (in North Coogee) and Ocean Drive, just metres from the water’s edge. Golden sunsets, open green spaces and walking trails are the main attractions of Coogee. The turquoise coast offers kilometres of beaches, a nearby marina and the picturesque Woodman Point Regional Park.

A small café culture is also emerging, attracting diners in the neighbouring suburbs and beyond. The newly developed Port Coogee Village Shopping Centre provides supermarkets, specialty stores, amenities and cafés. Situated just a few kilometres south of Fremantle, there’s never a shortage of restaurants, bars, shops or attractions within easy reach of the residents of Coogee.

Most rely on transport by car; however, there are bus links to Fremantle, and the Mandurah Train Line is about 10 kilometres away at the Cockburn Train Station.

For those who love an active, outdoor lifestyle, living in Coogee means having some of the best beaches in Australia right on your doorstep. Coogee Beach is famous for its walking trails, upgraded jetty, snorkelling and diving. Woodman Point Regional Park is especially popular for its crystal-clear waters and historic jetty for fishing.

Whether you’re comfortably nestled in your beautiful home with coastal vistas or enjoying a picnic on the water’s edge, Coogee never fails to reward you with million-dollar sunsets.

Area Features

Coogee Beach

Coogee Beach curving for four pristine kilometres is ideal for aquatic adventures. The Coogee Maritime Trail is located at the northern end and attracts snorkellers and divers exploring the Omeo shipwreck, which sunk in 1905, and the marine life such as stingrays, seals and dolphins. The Jervoise Bay Sailing Club sits on the southern end, but if you prefer not to get your feet wet, there are many walking trails and the historic Woodman Point jetty.

Woodman Point Regional Park

Featuring scenic seascapes and woodlands across 252 hectares, Woodman Point Regional Park consists of a wide variety of coastal vegetation and birdlife, bush walks, cycling, snorkelling, diving, caravan parks and a historic Woodman Point jetty popular for fishing.

Green Open Spaces

Almost half of Coogee has been dedicated to parks, including Barrow Park (voted one of Perth’s best playgrounds and bicycle pump tracks), Powell Reserve and John Graham Recreation Reserve. Big, little and furry kids will be thrilled with the options.

With incredible access to beachside living, whilst being within reach of the city, Coogee attracts a more youthful population, with a high percentage of locals falling into the 25 to 39 year age bracket. Although much quieter than its world-famous neighbour, Bondi Beach, Coogee attracts its own share of expats and travellers who crave a more low-key urban beachside retreat.
