Kwinana Beach (WA 810) commences on the north side of the breakwater, jetty and boat ramp constructed at Wells Park, which separates it from Rockingham beach (WA 809) to the south. The beach extends north for 1.3 km to southern training wall of the oil refinery small boat harbour. The beach faces due west but is shielded by Garden Island from ocean swell, receiving only low wind waves and occasional low swell.
