Beach Toilets in Western Australia

Western Australia records 109 of Australia's 486 public toilets at beaches — 22% of the national total. That makes it the second-largest state total, behind New South Wales (133). They sit in 76 named towns.

Busselton (5), North West Cape (4) and Bremer Bay (3) carry the most between them. Those 3 account for 12 of the 109; a further 52 towns record exactly one.

Named listings include Myalup Beach on Myalup Beach Road, Leeman Back Beach, Shelley Beach 1 and Castle Rock. Around Busselton the listings run to Busselton Marine Rescue, Youth and Community Activities Building and Alan Street.

Of the 109, 45 have a shower, 82 have parking on site and 70 are recorded as wheelchair accessible. They are 4% of the 2,767 public toilets recorded in Western Australia, and 6% of the round-the-clock ones.

70 of the 109 are recorded as wheelchair accessible — including Brighton Beach and Swimmers Beach. 1 is a Changing Places facility, with an adult-sized change table and a hoist: Sorrento Beach North. 1 opens with an MLAK key, the national Master Locksmiths Access Key. 12 of the 109 have a baby-change table, and 11 of those sit at a site that is also wheelchair accessible.

81 of the 109 are published as open 24 hours — such as South Trigg Beach 1 and Yallingup Beach. 10 open in daylight hours only and 1 lists variable hours. Where set times are published, the earliest opening is 5am at Floreat Beach and the latest closing is 10pm at Coogee Beach. 2 are shown as closed on Mondays. 12 publish no weekly hours at all, so treat those as unknown rather than open.

None of them are recorded as charging for entry. Beach blocks are recorded at the foreshore. Councils close some of them out of season and reopen them for summer patrols, which the published hours in the dataset rarely capture. Every figure here is counted from the National Public Toilet Map, which operators and councils update at their own pace.
