Waterfront bars & restaurants to watch sunset in Fremantle
Say goodbye to the sun as it surrenders to the sea. Cocktail in hand. Toes in the sand. Here are Freo’s best restaurants and bars to catch an epic WA sunset over the Indian Ocean or the river.
LEIGHTON BEACH & NORTH FREMANTLE
Bib & Tucker
18 Leighton Beach Blvd, North Fremantle
Bib and Tucker only care about a couple of things — great food, good times with friends and showcasing the best produce WA has to offer. Grab a spot on the western or northern decks, where the full glory of Leighton Beach is on display, and experience a dining experience like no other in Fremantle's north.
Al Lupo
25 Leighton Beach Blvd, North Fremantle
It's easy to see why Al Lupo has become a local favourite. Overlooking Leighton Beach, this neighbourhood brings together good food, good wine and good luck. Step through her doors for a long lunch or settle in for the night and indulge in an impressive slew of Italian tipples with a lo-fi elegant ambiance and seafood-centric menu to boot.
Palette
1 Freeman Loop, North Fremantle
Restaurant. Bar. Art gallery! Eats meet art at this beautiful seaside venue opposite Leighton Beach, where coastal, Mediterranean-inspired dining is complemented with rotating monthly art exhibitions. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner with a fully licensed bar.
MRKT Space
19 Freeman Loop, North Fremantle
Kick off a relaxed day at Leighton with coffee, or enjoy dinner and drinks with a perfect West Australian sunset over the ocean. It's a café and pizza bar, but make it fancy. Think little touches like bread, fresh from Bread in Common, every day.
Coast Port Beach
42 Port Beach Road, North Fremantle
On the shores of North Fremantle's Port Beach, Coast feels like everybody's beach house. Sunset cocktails by the sea.
FISHING BOAT HARBOUR
Bathers Beach House
47 Mews Road, Fremantle
Take three steps from the white sands of Bathers Beach and enjoy delicious beach bites and cold brews with relaxed ocean views. Bathers Beach House is Perth's only absolute beachfront restaurant and bar. Sink your toes into the sand, breathe in the fresh, salty air of the Indian Ocean and sip on a cocktail, cold beer or a glass of wine from the yellow-umbrella-ed deckchairs or tables on the beach.
Little Creatures
40 Mews Rd, Fremantle
Beer doesn’t come any fresher than this — pumped straight from the brewery! Fremantle's famous brewery welcomes visitors from far and wide. Soak in the brewery chaos or hang out in the sunny backyard with a Pale Ale, wood fired pizzas and their world-famous frites. The backyard's also perfect for taking in a classic West Aussie sunset over the sea.
WATERFRONT
Gage Roads Brewery
Peter Hughes Dr, Fremantle
Watch iconic container ships go by while sitting by the water, indulging in good tunes and fresh, local food. Not to mention, legendary brews! Watch your kids on the epic playground as you chill in the beer garden. You can even bring your dog. There's something pretty magical about watching the sun sink into the sea, surrounded by Fremantle's iconic port containers and ships.
EAST FREMANTLE
The Left Bank
15 Riverside Rd, East Fremantle
Take a seat at this riverside pub and relax into the day or night. Looking across the Swan River you could spot dolphins playing as you savour a cold beer and an ever-changing menu. You'll be treated to a top view at sunset, as Western Australia's stretching sky puts on its sunset show.
