SCARBOROUGH BEACH
Perth Western Australia
Best white sand surf beach in the world. Click link above to more up-to-date version of this site. The ideal Indian Ocean vacation destination to relax and meet the beautiful people of Perth who know Scarborough is the best beach in Western Australia. From the many nearby fine hotels and backpacking accommodation, you can swim, surf, fish, perv, skate, cycle, windsurf, shop, dine, travel, study, go night clubbing, interact with the animals, get fit, hold a conference, explore, or because the beach is so long and vast, drop out, relax and sun bake in a peaceful dune hollow away from the crowd. Scarborough beach has it all in the one place. Beaches within walking distance: Trigg with its island and rock pools to the north and Brighton Beach to the south where you can start walking pets southward to Floriate Beach. There is plenty of car parking and public bus #400 runs frequently from just west of the Perth train station. Beach and water conditions are usually best in the morning. Sunny winter (May-Nov) days are usually calm and beautiful. If you're not into wind surfing you'll be thrilled by the speed and stunts of Perth's marine windsurfing centre in the afternoons when the sea breeze gets blowing.
Scarborough is situated at the hub of the Sunset
Coast on the east coast of the
Indian Ocean. Getting
here from Perth airports.
Surf carnivals are
frequent events at Scarboro beach.
One of several playgrounds just behind the beach dunes. Free gas barbecues, facilities and services are only a few metres away. At night rabbits hop out of these dunes to feed on the lush lawn. Feb'00 I sighted two foxes by the bbq near the Brighton Beach kiosk . Bob tail goannas frequent dune paths. Fishing from the beach is excellent as is wave shape when winter storms drive up sand banks. An old 1930's map shows a planned jetty at Brighton Beach (just south of the Scarborough drain) but development takes time to happen here.

No swimming. These signs are sometimes put up by the SSLSC when occasional rips (undercurrents) are active. SSLSC volunteer life savers patrol between the yellow and red flags.
