BATHERS BEACH
FREMANTLE ITINERARY
ONE DAY
IN FREMANTLE
THREE DAYS & TWO NIGHTS
IN FREMANTLE
Start your morning with a stroll
down the iconic Cappuccino
Strip to 昀椀nd the perfect cup of
coffee, then head to the UNESCO
World Heritage-listed Fremantle
Prison. Join a guided tour, running
daily and departing every hour
from 10am - 5pm, through the
grounds to uncover the site’s
convict past. Next, wander through
the historic Fremantle Markets.
Sample the famous Honeycake
and browse artisan stalls for
unique, handmade gifts.
Continue to Fishing Boat Harbour
for a relaxed lunch on the water’s
edge. As you walk there, keep an
eye out for Fremantle’s vibrant
street art. Murals and sculptures
appear in unexpected places, from
footpaths to building tops.
After lunch, explore the quirky
boutiques and vintage shops along
High Street. For a creative break,
enjoy afternoon tea and discover
local artwork at DaRawNature
Studio Gallery, tucked away on
Henry Street.
As evening falls, make your
way to The Old Synagogue, a
beautiful heritage building with
views over Fremantle. Enjoy a
pre-dinner cocktail downstairs at
L’Chaim, before strolling along
the Cappucino Strip and into the
West End for a classic Italian feast
at Vin Populi.
Explore High Street’s unique
boutiques before a seaside lunch
with a cheeky midday cocktail at
Bathers Beach. After lunch, head
to the Fremantle Prison to explore
the eerie underground tunnels
built by prisoners on their Tunnels
Tour. Bookings are essential, but
boarding a replica convict punt
and going through submerged
passageways only accessible by
boat is well worth it.
This afternoon, check in to your
accommodation of choice. There
are a range of options to suit your
needs. From the heritage charm
of the Esplanade Hotel Fremantle
by Rydges to the boutique Garde
Hotel. If you prefer a self-contained
stay, Quest Apartments and Be.
Fremantle provide space and
independence, with Be. Fremantle
offering a peaceful waterfront
retreat with spectacular views.
As the day draws to a close,
head to The National Hotel
rooftop bar, enjoy cocktails
and dinner before wandering
through Fremantle and exploring
the small bar scene. Each one
offers a diverse atmosphere and
experience. From Darling Darling,
the pirate themed speakeasy to
Malt'n Gold the small whisky bar,
there are many venues to explore.
Start day two with breakfast at
any of the cozy cafés along High
Street before making a visit to
the WA Maritime Museum and
WA Shipwrecks Museum. Lunch
at Fishing Boat Harbour, followed
by games, eats, and mini golf
at FOMO Freo. End with drinks at
Gage Roads Brewery, dinner at
Coast Port Beach, and live music
at Port Beach Brewery.
It’s day three, make your way
to Little Loaf Lunch Bar for coffee
and breakfast before a stroll
along South Beach, taking in the
coastal vibe. When you’re ready,
join Two Feet & a Heartbeat for
their Convicts, Culture and Street
Art walking tour followed by lunch
at Little Creatures at Fishing
Boat Harbour. This afternoon,
make your way to the Republic
of Fremantle for a negroni or
from Friday through to Sunday,
participate in their Gin School
and distil your very own bottle
of gin! As the day winds down,
board a Charter 1 catamaran
for their Twilight Sail around the
harbour, then enjoy dinner at
Char Char Restaurant + Bar and
end your evening looking out
across the sparkling lights of
Fremantle on the Tourist Wheel
Fremantle at Esplanade Reserve.
