Reviews of Wanerie, WA
"Small fishing village with roaring tourist trade"
Lancelin is located 94 kms north of Perth and is a small coastal fishing town well known for its water sports and many tourists come to the town for snorkeling as there are many reefs as well as shipwrecks to explore. There is a thriving rock lobster industry here with the bay providing safe anchorage. Lancelin is known as the gateway to a dive trail which is known internationally. The area is also popular with international windsurfers. Apart from the Rock Lobster Industry the town is also supported by the growing tourist industry and many new businesses are opening up. There is a supermarket and specialty shops, a hotel, accommodation for tourists, including backpackers and a number of cottages, restaurants and takeaway food outlets, a swimming pool and other sporting venues, as well as a local police station, post office and petrol station. There is both a primary and a secondary school here for the children’s educational needs and there is a small medical centre with one doctor, but no hospital and the nearest is at nearby Moora. Real estate varies in price with many taking advantage of the growing tourist trade which is lifting prices in the small town.
