Applecross Foreshore

Applecross Foreshore is a dog walk in Applecross, WA, where the route offers stunning views of the Swan River, the Perth CBD skyline, and waterfront mansions, with opportunities to see water sports and wildlife.

The walk

Underfoot it is flat concrete paths and boardwalks.

Lead rules

City of Melville manages the route. Leash rules change along the way: some sections are lead-on, others are signed for off-lead play. The signage at each section is the authority, so treat the first visit as a scouting run and let the signs set the pace.

Carry water for the dog: drinking points along walks like this are rarely signed, so plan as if there are none. Early morning and dusk are the comfortable windows in Applecross for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.

Worth knowing

The Applecross suburb guide lists what else is around for the dog. Gairloch Reserve is the other local walk worth comparing.
