The Sunset Coast experiences over 8 hours of sunshine each day which invariably ends with a magnificent sunset over the ocean.

The warm dry Summer from December to February brings temperatures around 31°C and 19°C with little rainfall. The hottest days are made comfortable by a cooling afternoon sea breeze, known as “The Fremantle Doctor”, which brings welcome relief.

The Winter months of June to August are cooler but still considered mild and after the winter rains, which are welcomed by farmers and gardens alike, The Sunset Coast region comes alive with stunning wildflower display.
