Bathers Beach House location
But one of the coolest spots in Fremantle is Bathers Beach House. This is partly down to location. As the name would suggest, Bathers Beach House is right on Bathers Beach. There’s also a determination to enjoy that beachside location, with a massive outdoor terrace wrapping around the building.
This is the sort of bar to slink into after a day at the beach for a cold beer or two. And, if those one or two beers turn into three or four, then you’re in the perfect spot to watch the sun set over the Indian Ocean.
