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. Or you can stay overnight, at one of the many accommodation options.

Scarborough Beach is currently going through a massive face-lift with a $30 million revitalisation of the area to create a vibrant hub of activity. During summer enjoy live entertainment at the only amphitheatre on the beach in WA.

Neighbouring Trigg Beach is home to Perth's most consistent surf break, with local spots like Watermans Bay, Mettams Pool and Trigg Point also renowned for their surf. You can also play a round of golf at nearby, Joondalup Resort and explore many nature reserves and parks.
