Picturesquely situated just 14km from the heart of Perth lies what locals and visitors agree is the best beach getaway in all of Western Australia. With its distinct white sands and stunning location Scarborough Beach is the hot pick beach holiday resort for avid surfers, beach lovers and water sports enthusiasts from across the county as well as the world. Renowned for its sunny climate, sea breeze and heavy environs, this popular beach Mecca is most frequently visited during the winter months from May to November when the area is at its calmest and most attractive period of the year.
A hotbed of activity for water sports lovers, Scarborough Beach is a surfer’s dream come true with surfing gear available at innumerable surf shacks. Other popular activities at the venue include wind surfing and kite surfing while skimboarding has also gained a reputation as one of the region’s most beloved sporting activities. Professional and novice scuba divers and snorkelers can also venture beneath the deep to find what’s lurking on the ocean bed although fishing enthusiasts will have to charter a vessel from Mills Fishing Charter Boats to engage in beach and deep sea fishing like many of the locals do. Littered with multi-hued shells and the sounds of coastal bird species, Scarborough beach is also a preferred holiday destination for bird watchers and shell collectors.
Visitors can also hire a bicycle from any bike hire shop and engage in a day of coastal cycling along Perth’s safely constructed cycle paths. Sailing and golfing facilities are also available in the area in addition to pin bowling, soccer and snooker amenities.
Home to some equally fantastic restaurants, guests can also sample local cuisine and the best of Scarborough’s culinary offerings at firm favourites La Vela Restaurant, Fortuna Chinese Restaurant and Peters by the Sea.
