Create an itinerary including Scarborough Beach
Scarborough Beach is known for great year-round surfing, which made it the site of Australian Surf Life Saving Championships several years in a row. The beach is located within an entertainment district with bars, restaurants, and nightclubs and can be easily accessed from Perth by bus or car. The long stretch of white sand, lapped by warm blue water, attracts local families, as well as tourists from around the world. Crowds pick up on the weekends, when the strip of sand becomes colored with bright towels. There are very few trees here, so consider bringing an umbrella or small tent for shade. Put Scarborough Beach and other Scarborough attractions into our Scarborough journey planning website, and watch your holiday take shape.

  • The Scarborough Beach is excellent, with plenty of parking, and disabled parking is available. Also plenty of places to eat.

  • Nice beach not damaged by coffee shops , souvenir shops etc. Only presence of surf rescue team . Water cold , but we are december and few bold ones take sea bath . If you patient you can have very nice rapid sunset end of day.
  • Beautiful beach with toilet facilties nearby for kids to wash up, change new cloth or clean up after play. The waves are beautiful and we have a great family time
  • Top beach in Perth. Sunset is gorgeous. Many activities. Been to 8 different beaches and this was the best. Great restaurants and pubs. There is a pool. Many things for kids to do.
  • Iconic WA sandy beach within 20 minutes drive of the city. Don’t miss the sunsets. Get there early for parking as this is a popular spot. Great swimming pool if you prefer not to swim in the ocean
  • Beautiful place! Beach is huge and very clean, playground for kids nearby, restrooms and enough cafes. We had a wonderful day with the family
