Yanchep Beach is a shore-accessible reef site located 20 metres from the coast. The reef features shallow depths ranging from 5 to 10 metres, with an average depth of 5 metres. Visibility typically spans 10 to 30 metres. The site is suitable for beginners, though conditions vary; it is susceptible to strong currents, surge, and rip currents, particularly when waves break over the reef. Divers should monitor swell conditions, as large swells reduce visibility and increase surge. A dive flag is recommended due to local boat traffic. Onsite facilities include parking, toilets, showers, and changing rooms, with accessibility mats and beach wheelchairs available during patrolled hours.

The beach wheelchair is available for free booking when the beach is patrolled by surf lifesavers. It requires a carer to push. The accessibility mats make access easier for those with mobility aids.
