Yanchep National Park
The only hope of escaping the tyranny of tourism in the area is to visit Yanchep National Park which lies to the east of the town. Spread over 2 799 ha it is an interesting combination of caves, walking trails, and lakes including Loch McNess and the Yanchep Lakes. The vegetation in the area features stands of tuart, jarrah, marri, scrub and banksia. The wildlife includes possums, goannas, lizards, kangaroos and tortoises. CALM have produced a very useful sheet Yanchep National Park, which has a map of the park as well as detailed descriptions of the fauna and flora likely to be encountered by walkers in the park

Atlantis Park
Atlantis Park used to be the main attraction in Yanchep/Two Rocks, but now, after it being shut down for years is more a historical site. Many of the original stone artwork still remains, such as the stone artwork of 'King Neptune,' which is now a famous landmark of Yanchep. You can still go into the ruins of the park, as there are many trails to explore and many ruins of what used to be one of the most famous theme parks in WA.
