Product Description

Secret Harbour Beach Wall Art, Rockingham WA

Aerial photography of Secret Harbour Beach on a clear, bright day. A wide band of blue sky sits over a low line of coastal homes, and long ribbons of white foam fade into pale turquoise as they reach the sand.

Secret Harbour lies on the southern edge of the City of Rockingham, facing the open Indian Ocean. It is a quieter stretch of the Perth coast, with wide beaches, big skies and the kind of light that makes the water glow. This piece captures that open, easy feeling.

Why it works in a room

The generous sky and soft horizon give a room breathing space, which makes it a good match for bedrooms, living areas and hallways. Blue, white and sand tones work with almost any palette, and it looks especially good in bright coastal or modern homes.

Original aerial photography by Matthew Philip

Shot on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro with a 100MP Hasselblad camera. Fine detail in the sand and water holds up at every size, up to 150x100cm.

Available as a fine art paper print or stretched canvas, with black, oak and white framing options.

About The Location

Secret Harbour is at the southern end of the City of Rockingham, and it feels different to the beaches further north. It faces the open Indian Ocean rather than the sheltered water of Cockburn Sound, so the sky feels bigger, the horizon is longer and the beach has a wide open quality that I really like. It is a suburb people tend to overlook when they think of Perth beaches, which is part of the reason I wanted to photograph it properly.

For this frame I kept the horizon low and let the sky do a lot of the work. A thin line of houses sits along the top of the sand, and below it the beach curves away with ribbons of white foam sliding across pale turquoise shallows. It is a simple composition, but the colours are strong. The deep blue sky against the sand and glowing water gives the picture a clean, summery feel that works in almost any room.

I like that you can read the scale of the beach here. It is long and open, with plenty of space, and it does not feel crowded or overbuilt. That is what people who live nearby often say about it as well. It is a place where you can still find a bit of room to yourself on a warm afternoon.

I shot this on the Mavic 4 Pro, and the 100MP Hasselblad camera holds a lot of detail in the sand and in the bands of colour through the water, so it prints cleanly even at 150x100cm. It is one of the brighter, lighter pieces in the Rockingham set, and it suits anyone who wants a fresh coastal feel without it being too busy. If Secret Harbour is home, or has ever been home, this one is for you.

Frequently asked questions

All canvas prints on this site are made to order—I print each one specifically for you using museum-quality materials, which means a 3–4 week production and delivery window within Australia. This isn't a warehouse clearance; it's a custom-made product crafted to last decades. If you're ordering before a specific date, get in touch and I can often prioritize your print. Free shipping applies Australia-wide, and you'll receive tracking so you know exactly when your piece is arriving.

Paper and poster prints ship much faster—typically 1-2 business days to anywhere in the world, with free international shipping included. If you need your aerial photography print urgently, this is the best option. The paper is archival-grade (same fade-resistant, professional-quality stock I use in gallery prints), so despite the quicker turnaround, you're not compromising on longevity.

Canvas prints ship ready to hang with your choice of frame style at checkout: black, white, or natural oak. Each frame is specifically designed to complement the composition of the aerial photography and arrives attached and ready to display. If you prefer an unframed print, that's available too—giving you the flexibility to source custom framing locally or match existing décor. Paper prints come unframed but can be ordered with frame recommendations included in your package.

Canvas prints are stretched across 390gsm acid-free poly-cotton matte canvas—the same archival-quality material used by professional galleries and museums for fine art. The inks are fade-resistant and non-toxic, rated for 100+ years without noticeable color shift when kept out of direct sunlight. Paper prints come in three finishes: matte (museum-grade), semi-gloss (vibrant), or fine art paper, all archival-rated. As a Perth-based aerial photographer who has shot every image on this site, I've invested in materials that will outlast the trends—your print is an investment in something that lasts.

Canvas and paper prints are low-maintenance. Keep them away from prolonged direct sunlight (which fades any print over decades) and humidity extremes. If dust settles on canvas, a soft, dry, lint-free cloth does the job—no cleaners needed. Paper prints benefit from framing behind glass or acrylic, which provides UV protection and makes them virtually maintenance-free. Both formats are designed to age gracefully; many customers report their prints looking exactly as vibrant 10+ years later.

I stand behind every print. If your canvas or paper print arrives damaged, the colors aren't right, or anything doesn't meet your expectations, contact me immediately with photos. I'll remake it or refund you—no questions, no process. This isn't just a returns policy; it's a commitment to your satisfaction. Email matt@matthewphilip.com and we'll resolve it within 48 hours.
