About Seabird
Seabird is a small coastal locality in the Shire of Gingin, Western Australia, located on the Indian Ocean coastline approximately 100 kilometres north-north-west of Perth. Situated between Guilderton to the south and Ledge Point to the north, the townsite overlooks a stretch of sheltered coastline known for its calm waters, fishing, and recreational appeal. With a 2021 Census population of 107 residents and a notably older median demographic, Seabird has evolved from its original fishing community roots into a popular holiday and retirement destination.
Life in Seabird revolves around coastal pursuits — fishing, beachcombing, swimming, and enjoying the Indian Ocean foreshore. The Seabird Tavern serves as the community's main social hub, offering meals, drinks, and a caravan park. The locality has limited permanent services, with residents relying on the nearby towns of Lancelin (approximately 20 kilometres north) and Yanchep (around 45 kilometres south) for shopping and medical facilities. Seabird's tight-knit community, pristine beaches, and quiet atmosphere make it a sought-after destination for those seeking a genuinely coastal lifestyle away from the city.
Seabird falls under postcode 6042 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Moore (Agricultural) electorate.
