4. Take a beach fishing lesson
Perth’s magnificent ocean hides some incredible treasures and one of these is the huge array of a fish and sea life hiding in the crystal blue waves. You'll be surprised at the size of your catch and what is hiding just metres below the crashing waves in the sea grass beds, just walking distance from the sandy beach. Experience Oz offers beach fishing lessons, where they will teach you to hook a line and cast into the waves, so that you can catch your own seafood feast. Don't let your lack of knowledge hold you back, head down to the beach and grab yourself some ocean fresh delicacies, or at the very least a story about The One That Got Away. |
