Kwinana Beach is an industrial suburb of Perth, Western Australia, located within the Town of Kwinana.
Kwinana is firstly a local indigenous Australian word meaning either "young woman" or "pretty maiden". The ship SS Kwinana was wrecked on Cockburn Sound in 1922 and blown onto Kwinana Beach. The nearby area acquired the name and it was officially adopted for a township in 1937.[1]
