North Coogee, Western Australia.
North Coogee is a quiet, modern coastal suburb south of Fremantle, sitting along the shores of Cockburn Sound and offering easy access to beaches, parks and the broader port city lifestyle.
North Coogee has grown steadily into a well-planned residential suburb with a relaxed, coastal character. It sits close enough to Fremantle to enjoy the city's energy while remaining a genuinely calm place to live or visit.
The suburb is defined by its waterfront position on Cockburn Sound, with foreshore parklands and a marina precinct giving residents and visitors places to walk, gather and watch the water. It feels unhurried without feeling remote.
We respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which North Coogee stands, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present. This coastline and country hold deep significance, and that connection endures today.

Eating and the local scene

A bit of history
The coastline around North Coogee has a long industrial and maritime history connected to the broader Port Coogee and Cockburn Sound area. The land transitioned over decades from industrial and semi-rural use into the planned residential and marina development that shaped the suburb as it stands today. Like much of the southern Fremantle coast, its recent residential growth reflects broader patterns of urban expansion in Perth's southern corridor.
