The ocean pushes close to the path as you unlock the next clue — salt on the breeze, gulls calling, and a line of public artworks that ask you to look twice. "Pirates by the Sea" lets you walk the paved coastal route from north Cottesloe toward Fremantle, guided by a mobile app that pings new riddles and points you to sculptures, historic waypoints and small seaside surprises.
This stretch of Perth’s coastline has layers of history: Cottesloe grew into a popular seaside suburb in the early 20th century, while Fremantle began as the colony’s port in 1829. Geologically the coast is same old Tamala Limestone and sand over ancient dunes; culturally it’s a place where surf life-saving culture, public art and café life collide. The game threads local stories into a playful narrative — tracking a fictional Quokka Clan and reclaimed sculptures — while sending you to real landmarks such as the Bathers’ Pavilion precinct and sculpture installations along the promenade.
Practically, the experience is low-impact and walkable: expect paved paths parallel to the sand (the game avoids beach walking), 2–3 hours at a relaxed pace, and intermittent street crossings. You’ll need a charged smartphone with the Questo app, basic navigation comfort and a sensible walking kit — sun protection, water and good shoes. Start early or late afternoon to avoid peak sun; the app’s step-by-step format means you can pause, restart and tailor the outing to families, couples or small groups.
You’ll receive an email with instructions and a link to download the Questo app; follow the in-app prompts to redeem and begin your quest when ready.
Much of the coastal promenade is on paved paths accessible to strollers and many wheelchairs, but some sections may have ramps or narrow stretches — check site conditions beforehand.
Yes — the experience is self-guided and available 24/7, but daytime offers better visibility and safety; avoid remote hours if alone.
The game uses GPS and occasional downloads; a mobile data connection is recommended. Some content may not function fully offline.
Questo operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
