Coogee Beach (WA 825) commences on the northern side of Woodman Point by the Jervoise Bay Sailing Club and gently curves north for 3.7km. The beach is patrolled by Coogee Beach Surf Life Saving Club which is situation at Poore Grove, in the middle of the beach. Woodman Point Jetty, also known as Ammo Jetty, is in the southern part of the beach. The jetty was constructed in 1903 for loading and unloading explosives; it was opened for public access when the explosive magazines were closed in 1984. The jetty is a popular fishing and scuba-diving location. Access to the jetty is via John Graham Recreation Reserve. The northern part of the beach features Coogee Jetty which was refurbished in 2022 and upgraded to include ramp access from the jetty to the beach. North of Coogee Jetty is the swimming enclosure which is approximately 300 metres long and 75 metres wide. The enclosure remains in place all year round, thanks to the shelter provided by a string of reefs, including Carnac Island, that extend north of Garden Island. The reefs lie 5-6 km offshore and lower ocean waves to less than 1 m at the shore. At the northern end of the beach by the breakwater of Port Coogee is the Coogee Maritime Trail, centred around the Omeo Shipwreck. The trail can be reached by a staircase from Socrates Parade or along the beach. The Omeo was built in 1858 and wrecked in 1905. The Omeo is historically significant and a federally protected iron steamship; standing on or taking parts of the wreck without a permit is an offence under the Commonwealth Underwater Cultural Heritage Act 2018. The trail also includes an artificial reef and underwater art gallery. read more
