Life in Mandurah is centered on the calm protected waters of the Peel Inlet and Harvey Estuary, one of the largest inland waterways in Australia. The area also boasts kilometres of sandy Indian Ocean beaches and for these reasons, boating and fishing enthusiasts visit the city in droves to enjoy the enormous expanses of water and try their hand at boating, fishing, crabbing, prawning, wind-surfing, scuba diving, yachting and just about everything else that ends in "ing"!

Around the estuary foreshore, many large lawned picnic areas provide families with shelters, tables, barbecues, toilets and change rooms and there are a number of jettys and bridges to try your luck with a fishing line or crabbing net.

Mandurah's variety of accommodation offers an excellent base from which to explore the surrounding areas. The vast waterway and relaxed holiday lifestyle really set the mood for a great "get away from it all" holiday.
One of the best ways to explore the inlet and rivers is on one of the local cruise boats, though you can also experience the waerways and local canals in a hire boat (ranging from a fishing dinghy to a fully equipped houseboat).
