Best Beaches & Bays

Perth’s coastline and Swan River offer diverse waterfront experiences. Iconic ocean spots include the surf-heavy white sands of Scarborough and the pine-fringed Cottesloe Beach. Along the river, Point Walter is defined by its extensive sandbar extending into the water, while Matilda Bay and Freshwater Bay provide calmer environments for sailing and picnics. City Beach offers modern infrastructure and clear waters, while historical Point Heathcote and Waylen Bay provide scenic viewpoints across Melville Water and the Applecross shoreline.
