The Spectacles

The Spectacles is a wetland nature reserve in the suburb of The Spectacles within the City of Kwinana, Western Australia, about 30 kilometres south of Perth. Part of Beeliar Regional Park, it features two large lakes that resemble a pair of spectacles from above. The reserve protects banksia and paperbark woodlands and is known for birdwatching, walking trails and Aboriginal heritage values, offering a natural bushland experience within the Perth metropolitan area.

Visitors can expect a tranquil bushland wetland setting with two large lakes surrounded by paperbark and banksia woodland. A 4.7 km loop walk trail with boardwalk sections, interpretive signage and a bird hide allows exploration of the wetlands. The area is popular for birdwatching, nature photography and bushwalking, with opportunities to see waterbirds and native flora in a relatively undisturbed natural environment close to suburban Kwinana.
