It’s the sort of place you go to chill out, take beach walks and ride along the coastal cycling trail – however, it's not short of adrenaline-inducing experiences, including skydiving over the bay. The town is also home to a new skate park and youth precinct with a redeveloped foreshore pavilion and café set to open later this year.-𝚁𝙰𝙲 𝚆𝚎 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎𝚗'𝚝 𝚝𝚛𝚒𝚎𝚍 𝚜𝚠𝚒𝚖𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚎𝚊 𝚕𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚜 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚏𝚒𝚜𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚋𝚎𝚌 𝚠𝚎 𝚓𝚞𝚜𝚝 𝚕𝚒𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚢 𝚙𝚊𝚜𝚜𝚎𝚍 𝚝𝚑𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑.

The town lies adjacent to the Jurien Bay Marine Park. Jurien Bay has an airport.𝚠𝚒𝚔𝚒 At the 2011 census, Jurien Bay had a population of 1,507,[8] which represented over one-third of the total population of the Shire of Dandaragan and an increase of over 300 people over the 2006 Census population of 1,175.[9] It was surveyed within the Moore region, which includes five local council areas to the north of Perth with a population of 14,038, and has grown consistently over recent years.[10] The coastline around Jurien Bay was first known to Europeans in the 17th century. In 1801–03, an expedition under the command of Nicolas Baudin sailed along the Western Australian coast. Louis de Freycinet, a cartographic surveyor on the expedition, named Jurien Bay after Charles Marie Jurien (1763–1836) of the French naval administration. The area was visited by a number of English explorers from 1822 onwards.[2] The bay was first surveyed by Captain James Harding, the harbourmaster of Fremantle, in 1865, with a more extensive survey made by Staff Commander W. E. Archdeacon R.N. in 1875. -𝚠𝚒𝚔𝚒 #perth #𝚠𝚎𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚗𝚊𝚞𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚕𝚒𝚊 #𝚘𝚞𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍𝚊𝚋𝚘𝚞𝚝 #𝚓𝚞𝚛𝚒𝚎𝚗𝚋𝚊𝚢 #𝚋𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛 #𝚠𝚎𝚎𝚔𝚎𝚗𝚍𝚍𝚛𝚒𝚟𝚎
