Dawesville
is a suburb of Mandurah, located between the Harvey Estuary and the
Indian Ocean.
The area is also home to the largest inland waterway in Western
Australia - the Harvey Estuary and the Peel Inlet which combine to
produce an array of fishing and crabbing options in the summer months.
However, due to the crab population declining over the past
half-decade, crabbing is now banned in the estuary during September and
October.
Attractions outside crabbing and fishing include canoeing, jet-ski and
skiing. The beach, which is only 500 metres over the highway is another
attraction. Pyramids Beach, the most popular beach in Dawesville, is
currently undergoing development to turn it into a future surf spot.
