Perth has some of the best beaches in the world.
Within 15 minutes of the town centre, you can splash in the Indian Ocean and lie on the golden sands.
Morning is the best time to visit most beaches as the "Fremantle Doctor" โ the local name of the cooling afternoon sea breeze โ can tend to ruin the experience.
For those unfamiliar with the West Australian climate, be warned to be "sun smart" with sun cream and hats as the sun can be ferocious at the height of Summer.
Getting There
You are never far from a beach in Perth, as the city shows its obsession with the water by developing up and down the coast rather than inland.
Beaches can be reached by car, bus, train or walking, depending on where you are.

Things to do
Lie around, soak up UV rays, and go surfing or bodyboarding โ Perth beaches are an idyllic place to spend time.
Different beaches offer different experiences, but all of them are great!
Our Favourites
West Australians are very protective of development by the beach, so there are surprisingly few venues right along the coast. City Beach is an exception with three great dining options: Odyssea is the best for breakfast, lunch, dinner or coffee.
