Guilderton (Moore River)

Guilderton is a small coastal town at the mouth of the Moore River in the Shire of Gingin, about 85 kilometres north of Perth, Western Australia. It is notable for the Moore River estuary where the river meets the Indian Ocean, separated by a natural sandbar. The town is known for its sandy ocean beach, calm estuary waters, surrounding Moore River National Park and popularity as a day-trip destination for swimming, paddling and fishing.

Visitors can expect a coastal settlement centred on the Moore River estuary and a long sandy ocean beach. The estuary side offers calm, shallow water separated from the surf beach by a sandbar that opens and closes seasonally. The foreshore has grassed picnic areas, lookouts over the river mouth, walking paths and a boat ramp. The ocean beach faces the Indian Ocean with dunes and coastal vegetation, while Moore River National Park surrounds the area with bushland and walking opportunities.
