Scarborough Beach
The liveliest surfing beach in northern Perth, with a seaside plaza featuring a pool, skate park, and bars. It is a popular spot for watching sunsets.
Scarborough Beach is the most popular beach in northern Perth, with a wide white sand beach and bigger waves that suit surfing and surf lessons. The renovated seaside plaza has a free skate park, a children's play area, and the Scarborough Beach Pool, which faces the ocean (paid). Bars and restaurants surround the area, and in summer a night market is often held on Wednesday evenings. Swim between the lifeguards' red and yellow flags, and watch for rip currents and shark alerts. Bus 990 from the city takes about 30 minutes.
