Harvey Beach is a tiny area with a jetty at Point Direction, next to the Water Police facility in North Fremantle. It is near the end of Harvest Road, whence the name.

Harvey Beach
Looking down to the end of Harvest Road can be seen the Water Police headquarters adjacent to the traditional local swimming place, affectionately known as ‘Harvey’. The Water Police jetty used to be a public jetty and each year the North Fremantle Council would treat the schoolchildren to a ferry trip to the South Perth Zoo. Just downstream from the jetty there was a Government slipyard where large cargo barges were maintained.
