Scarborough Beach | Destination Perth

Just 20 minutes from Perth City, Scarborough Beach offers one of Perth's most popular beaches.

Located within the City of Stirling, with excellent public transport links, there is no excuse not to visit. Once you're done surfing, sunbathing and swimming spend a relaxing hour or two at one of the many cafés or bars overlooking the ocean.
