Local police will be closely monitoring Perth beaches over the Easter weekend to enforce COVID-19 physical distancing restrictions.
Beaches are currently still open to allow people to go for a swim or a walk for exercise, but if people are gathering in groups or hanging around for too long the police will make the call for beaches to be closed.
Police will be patrolling all Fremantle beaches this weekend and our Community Safety Team and CCTV will also keep an eye on things.
Toilets will be open at Port, Leighton and South Beach, but the outdoor showers have been turned off to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 through people touching the taps.
We’ll have signs in place at entrances and other strategic locations to remind people of the physical distancing and crowding rules, so do the right thing and everyone can enjoy a dip at the beach this Easter.
