How do you get to Como Jetty?

Como Jetty sits on the Como foreshore on the far side of the Kwinana Freeway, so there's no driving right up to it. Park on the suburb side around the Preston Street shops or along Melville Parade, then cross the freeway on the pedestrian overpass at the end of Preston Street. The overpass is the only access and it's a real walk with gear.

How long is Como Jetty?

Como Jetty is the biggest jetty on the Swan and Canning river system. The original 1907 jetty reached about 300 metres into the bay; it was completely rebuilt in 1982 after the Kwinana Freeway severed it from the Como shore. Even the current deck is long — it reaches past the shallow foreshore margins to the better water, which is why it fishes well.

Can you catch blue swimmer crabs at Como Jetty?

Yes — drop nets off the jetty and scoop nets over the paddling beaches either side both work once the season opens on 1 December. The Swan and Canning are closed to all crab fishing from 1 September to 30 November. Blue swimmer crabs must be at least 127 mm across the carapace, with a daily limit of 5 in the Swan-Canning; check current DPIRD rules before you go. Don't eat the crab guts from the Swan — remove the head, mustard and gills and wash the meat because of the Alexandrium algal toxin.

What fish can you catch at Como Jetty?

Black bream around the pylons year-round, flathead over the sand as the steady daytime target, yellowfin whiting on the sand patches through summer, tailor on the autumn tides, and mulloway off the deeper section after dark. Blue swimmer crabs and river prawns are the summer draw off the beaches either side of the jetty.

Is Como Jetty good for kids?

Yes — there are public toilets, a small playground and paddling beaches at the base of the jetty, and the deck is sealed and railed. The catch is the access: the only way in is the pedestrian overpass across the Kwinana Freeway from the end of Preston Street, which is a decent walk with children and gear.
