More lovely white beaches looking north from Quinns and onto the Dog and Horse beach areas. I can see a couple of dogs. 2007. Photo Ref: QNNS002

 

Quinns Rocks - Beach

Further south along Quinns beach, and looking south, is this section of rocky coastline. You can see Mindarie beyond. March 2011. Photo Ref: QNNS003

 

Quinns Rocks - Caravan Park

Next to the Surf Club and adjacent to the walk track is the Quinns caravan park. Great place for a holiday - it would only be less that 2 minutes walk and you're wading in the sea! March 2011. Photo Ref: QNNS004

 

Quinns Rocks - Cafe

The brightly coloured Quinns Beach Cafe is indeed right on the beach. March 2011. Photo Ref: QNNS005

 

Quinns Rocks - Liquor Store

Right behind the Quinns Beach Cafe is the Quinns Liquor and General Store. March 2011. Photo Ref: QNNS006

 

Quinns Rocks - Portofinos

Next to the Surf Club and right on the beach-front is the very pleasant restaurant, Portofinos. A large dining area at the rear of the building affords fabulous ocean views and is protected from sun, sand and wind by windows. March 2011. Photo Ref: QNNS007

 

Quinns Rocks - Surf Club

Naturally a surf club would be right next to be beach, and so it is. All looks quiet right now because all the members are watching over swimmers on the beach! March 2011. Photo Ref: QNNS008

 

Quinns Rocks - Surf Rescue

This is what the surf club members are doing today. Many members around (I think there was some training going on). They also had their surf dinghy and other life-saving equipment on the beach. March 2011. Photo Ref: QNNS009

 

Quinns Rocks - Old House

It wasn't so long ago that Quinns was a pretty isolated piece of beach before the metropolitan area snuck up and took it by surprise. In those days many seaside "shacks" lined the coast. Very functional but perhaps not so elegant. There are still a few left in-between newer, more sumptuous dwellings along the coast. March 2011. Photo Ref: QNNS010

 

Quinns Rocks - New House

And speaking of more sumptuous dwellings, how about this eye-catcher? Set a street back from the beach, elevated by stout wooden poles and constructed of what looks like re-cycled timber, this house would be the pride and joy and its owner! March 2011. Photo Ref: QNNS011

 

Quinns Rocks - Statue

A statue or a sculpture or both? Over looking the beach and ocean, I wonder what this angelic entanglement of metal represents, not that it really needs to? March 2011. Photo Ref: QNNS012
