Yanchep Beach Road is an east-west road in Perth which provides access to the outermost northern coastal suburbs of Yanchep and Two Rocks from Wanneroo Road as it leaves the Perth metropolitan area. The road is mostly a single carriageway with one lane in each direction, and commences in the Yanchep National Park near Lake Yonderup. It was built in the early 1970s to service land owned by the Bond Corporation and became a vital route during the operation of Atlantis Marine Park between 1981 and 1990.

Intersections

The first 2 km are located within the Yanchep National Park, which contains sites of Aboriginal significance, caves, picnic facilities and a small museum, and the first turnoff provides access to Loch McNess which is in the park. After crossing the proposed alignment of Mitchell Freeway and passing an old general store, it skirts an 18-hole golf course, Sun City Country Club, before intersecting with St Andrews Drive which provides access to the residential area adjoining the golf course. A small industrial estate is located just outside Yanchep.

Yanchep Beach Road enters Yanchep at a large roundabout with Marmion Avenue, which until 2008 is simply a 300-metre-long suburban road providing access to the main residential section of Yanchep. The road then forms the northern boundary of the settlement for 1 km, terminating at Two Rocks Road which continues on to Club Capricorn and Two Rocks.

The eastern end of the road does not quite join with the Old Yanchep Road which is aligned with the original entrance to the park slightly further north.
