Planning in winter can feel like a scheduling problem. The days are shorter, the water is colder, and the instinct is to plan around staying in.
At Capricorn Beach, the plan is simpler. Whatever July is doing outside, there is still a good way to spend the day in it.
Things to do these school holidays
The suburb has its own calendar running through the same fortnight, all of it a short trip from home.
NAIDOC Week at Yanchep National Park | Sunday 12th of July
Bush tucker tasting and family activities at Wangi Mia, on the country the park belongs to.
Christmas in July at the Yanchep Inn | Saturdays the 11th, 18th and 25th of July
A three-course set menu with live entertainment and the open fire going.
Yanchep Central Christmas in July Market | Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th July
Local makers, food and early Christmas gifts.
Sorted, Whatever July Does
And with the winter school holidays now underway, there’s still plenty of time to make the most of them. Whether it’s a morning at the Adventure Playground, a walk along the foreshore, Christmas in July at the Yanchep Inn, exploring Yanchep National Park or discovering one of the many family-friendly activities happening throughout the area, Capricorn Beach puts it all within easy reach.
This is the part of coastal living that summer never has to prove. Winter is where you find out whether the outdoor life was ever really about the weather, or about choosing somewhere it does not need to be perfect to be worth going outside. It’s the kind of place where you don’t need a packed itinerary to create a memorable day together.
