Yanchep Beach Road
Intersections
The first 2 km are located within the Yanchep National Park, which contains sites of Aboriginal significance, caves, picnic facilities and a small museum, and the first turnoff provides access to Loch McNess in the park. After crossing the proposed alignment of Mitchell Freeway and passing an old general store, it skirts an 18-hole golf course, Sun City Country Club, before intersecting with St Andrews Drive, which provides access to the residential area adjoining the golf course. A small industrial estate is located just outside Yanchep.
Yanchep Beach Road enters Yanchep at a large roundabout with Marmion Avenue, which until 2008 was simply a 300-metre-long suburban road. The road then forms the northern boundary of the settlement for 1 km, terminating at Two Rocks Road, which continues on to Club Capricorn and Two Rocks.
The eastern end of the road does not quite join with the Old Yanchep Road which is aligned with the original entrance to the park slightly further north.
History
People have travelled to the coast along the route since at least the 1920s. The Wanneroo Road Board in the 1930s endeavoured to improve what was basically a sand track.
The historic Vaz's Store, located midway along Yanchep Beach Road, has serviced the needs of travellers along the road since that time. It has been in continual use, and currently has a petrol station in front of the heritage listed shop building.
