outdoorsy beachy tourist sporty
Lancelin is Perth's go-to escape for sand and open coast, a compact fishing village ~130km north of the city where towering dunes, 4WD tracks and sandboarding sit alongside genuinely spectacular beach scenery. It's unpretentious and quiet outside peak season, anchored by a local pub and surf culture that feels authentic. Coastal flood risk is a real long-term concern, but for a weekend of sun, salt air and outdoor adventure, few spots within easy reach of Perth come close.
Buyers can expect a median price of $750k and rent of $550/week, 26% below the Perth metro median. At 37/100, the crime score is 15 points below Perth's metro average of 52. There are 1 school nearby, rated 16/100 overall and below the Perth average. With a median age of 52, it is a more established community with a household income of $1,071/week.
