Bathers Beach, Fremantle

A rocky promontory, which defined the southern end of the beach (now hidden beneath reclaimed land) and from which the Fremantle Long Jetty extended, was subsequently named "Anglesea Point".

Daniel Scott, who was the local harbour master, businessman and chair of the town council, made substantial investment in the Fremantle Whaling Company in 1837.

An impressive investment was made when the company created a 57-metre-long (187 ft) tunnel that linked the beach to the High Street, allowing easy access for transporting heavy equipment or products.

This rapid progress was possible because prisoners from the Round House were used, the rock was capable of being mined with a pick axe, and the work was overseen by Henry Willey Reveley.

)[7] Due to the range of activities since the 1820s, including whaling, the area adjacent to the beach has attracted archaeological interest.
