Quinns Rocks

Located 45 minutes north of Perth lies Quinns Rocks and the recent development of Mindarie. This seaside suburb takes its name from the offshore reef first noted by Surveyor James Cowle in 1867 and named after Robert Quin the Assistant Surveyor. A survey of a road to Quinns was carried out in November 1925 and Quinns Rocks was declared a townsite in 1962. The older houses of Quinns are juxtaposed to the sparkling modern homes on Mindarie to the south. Both suburbs share a lifestyle which focuses around Quinn's Beach and Mindarie marina. The developing community has a Mediterranean atmosphere brought about by a resort hotel (located at Mindarie), boardwalk cafes and al fresco dining. Boating, fishing, surfing, scuba diving, snorkelling, swimming, viewing the many shipwreck sites off the coast, and other water activities, are central to life at Quinns Rocks and Mindarie. Quinns Rocks boasts a number of parks and recreational facilities, a variety of flora and fauna, walking tracks, easy beach access. A full range of dining experiences from take away outlets and cafes, to a la carte restaurants are available. A wide range of accommodation can be found, from three and a half star hotel accommodation, Bed and breakfasts to caravan parks.
