Coogee Beach is a popular 4-kilometre stretch of coastline within the Woodman Point Regional Park in the City of Cockburn. The primary access for paddlers is via Coogee Beach Reserve on Powell Road, which offers ample parking, public toilets, showers, and picnic facilities. The beach itself is known for its clear, turquoise waters. A significant feature for paddlers is the presence of a large swimming enclosure, approximately 300 metres long and 75 metres wide, located next to the historic Coogee Jetty. This netted area provides a protected zone from boat traffic and marine life, which can include dolphins and sea lions. The beach is a noted launch point for boats, meaning fine sand is prevalent and can get into gear. The northern end of the beach is the starting point for the Coogee Maritime Trail, a circular snorkelling and diving route situated about 25 metres offshore. This trail features the submerged wreck of the Omeo, sunk in 1905, along with other underwater sculptures and art installations, making it a notable paddling destination. The area is also frequented by stingrays. At the southern end of the beach is the Jervoise Bay Sailing Club, which hosts regular sailing races from October through May, a factor paddlers should be aware of for potential vessel traffic. The overall character is that of a vibrant, well-facilitated coastal reserve with a mix of calm, enclosed waters and open coastline exposed to Cockburn Sound and Owen Anchorage.
