Episode: 4
Presenter: Angie Ayers
Air Date: 3rd March 2024

Angie, a local resident, shares her connection to Perth's northern beaches and introduces one of her cherished locations, Mettams Pool, situated within the scenic Marmion Marine Park.

• The journey to Mettams Pool begins on the iconic West Coast Drive, a route adorned with charming cafes and restaurants, offering a glimpse into the coastal lifestyle enjoyed by the fortunate residents along this picturesque coastal stretch.
• Mettams Pool, nestled within the Marmion Marine Park just 20 minutes from Perth CBD, emerges as a coastal gem featuring crystal clear waters, pristine beaches, and excellent facilities.
• The warm waters influenced by the Leeuwin current, coupled with limestone ledges, caves, and swim-throughs, create an ideal habitat for a diverse array of temperate and tropical ocean species—over 200 species of fish alone thrive in these waters.
• Beyond the vibrant marine life, the lagoon's shallow depth, along with its unique shape, ensures relatively calm waters even when the sea breeze picks up. This accessibility makes Mettams Pool an inviting space for activities such as surfing, kayaking, and fishing, with convenient stairs and ramp access from the nearby car park.
• For those who prefer to stay dry, the beach offers opportunities to spot seals, dolphins, and whales all whilst sitting back and enjoying a refreshing drink at one of the local bars.
