For those looking to elevate their race-day experience, the Palm Beach Oasis will be open on Sunday from 11.00am to 5.30pm. This exclusive area offers ticket holders toes-in-the-sand views of the finish line, plus WA wines, beer, cocktails, pop-up food trucks, DJs, live bands, charity auctions and Fashions on the Foreshore, creating a vibrant beachside atmosphere like no other.
Funds raised through the Rockingham Beach Cup support important causes, including Variety – the Children’s Charity, MSWA, and Palm Beach Rotary community projects, so you can feel good knowing your ticket helps make a difference in the community.
All racehorses are sourced through experienced trainers, with safety remaining a top priority. Skilled jockeys deliver a professional yet community-focused racing experience, with no betting and no whips used.
First staged in 2016 by the Rotary Club of Palm Beach WA, the Rockingham Beach Cup brings together two of WA’s favourite pastimes: a day at the races and a day at the beach. Proudly supported by the City of Rockingham through its Iconic Event Funding program, the Cup has grown into one of the state’s most unique attractions.
