Dolphin Quay Mandurah

On your next visit to Mandurah, be sure to stop by at Dolphin Quay. A sort-of “mini” Hillarys Boat Harbour, this spot on Manduarh Ocean Marina has cafes, markets and more to explore.

Many of the cafes, licensed restaurants, and parks have water views, making Dolphin Quay a lovely spot to meet friends and family.

The indoor market is smaller than I remember, with Sharky’s Fish n chips now taking up some of the area. You’ll find a variety of small shops selling collectables, souvenirs, artificial flowers, plants, hats, shoes, soaps, wall hangings, art and giftware.

You may find a little something for your home.

Around the outside of the building, in the leafy mall, there are shops to browse, including a Christmas shop, beauty, lolly shop and more.

A variety of coffee shops and casual restaurants, include Cafe Moka, Lily Paris French Café & Pâtisserie, Harvey Grinds, Sharkys Fish and Chips, Asian Delites which is BYO and Maneki Japanese Restaurant.

From Dolphin Quay, walk over the pedestrian bridge to the Keith Holmes Reserve park, and The Lido beach.

Here there are tonees of trees,picnic shelters and BBQ’s. The playground, large grassed area and shady picnic tables make it a great spot for a group gathering.

The small beach is within the protected water of the marina, making it calm for the kiddies (or big kids!) to have a swim.

It’s an easy 10 minute walk to the Mandurah estuary foreshore and Visitor Centre from here. Mandurah is a perfect sunny day destination.
