Overview
Comet Bay sits just north of Mandurah and is a popular summer anchorage for Perth and Peel region sailors. The bay offers clean sand, clear water and gentle swell on calmer days.
It’s perfect for a lunch stop, swimming, and easy beach landings.
Anchorage
- Depth: 5–10m
- Bottom: Good sand holding
- Protection: Best in easterlies; exposed to seabreeze chop
- Hazards: Shoaling near the beach, jetskis on weekends
The seabreeze can make the anchorage bumpy in the afternoon, so most boats visit mornings or early evenings.
Things to Do
- Swim off the long white-sand beach
- Paddle to shore for coffee at the Mandurah foreshore
- Kite-surfing is excellent when the seabreeze fills in
Notes for Cruisers
Avoid anchoring too close to the reef patches south of the bay. Depths vary quickly.
