Quinns Rocks

Quinns Rocks is a coastal suburb and beach in the City of Wanneroo, about 38 km north of Perth, Western Australia. Centred on Quinns Beach, it features a sandy shoreline protected by an offshore limestone reef forming a shallow lagoon. Notable for family-friendly swimming, snorkelling, fishing and foreshore parks, it is a popular recreational beach for northern Perth residents and visitors.

Visitors can expect a sandy beach with a shallow, reef-protected lagoon, limestone rocks and foreshore reserve. The beach area includes grassed parkland, barbecue and picnic shelters, playground and pathways along the coast. The water is generally calm inside the reef, suitable for swimming, snorkelling and paddling, while areas outside the reef are more exposed. The suburb surrounds the beach with residential streets and local shops.

The area is named after Mick Quinn, a stockman who grazed sheep along this stretch of coast in the 19th century. The name Quinns Rocks was applied to the coastal rocks and later the townsite, which was developed as a residential suburb from the 1960s within the Shire, now City, of Wanneroo.

Located on Whadjuk Noongar Country, the coastal area forms part of the traditional lands of the Noongar people. Today it serves as a community beach and recreational foreshore for the northern Perth metropolitan area.
