PERTH'S SUNSET COAST WHERE THE SEA TURNS TO GOLD - THE SUNSET COAST ENCOMPASSES THE GLORIOUS COASTLINE OF METROPOLITAN PERTH FROM COTTESLOE UP TO TWO ROCKS AND THE LOCALES OF SCARBOROUGH, JOONDALUP AND WANNEROO.

The evening sun dipping spectacularly into the Indian Ocean gives this region its evocative name, and it’s a sight you can enjoy daily, from any number of picturesque locations.

While the beaches and facilities are inviting, and the weather is exceptional, it’s rarely crowded. This area enjoys a wealth of open space that contributes to a wonderful sense of relaxation and freedom.

Getting around the region is easy, with an excellent road system that puts great beaches a short drive from the Perth city centre, and the northern limits no more than an hour away. Most places are also accessible by bus or train.

Endless, beautiful beaches During the warm, dry summer months from December to February, daily temperatures average 31°C, with warm evenings and little rainfall. Combine those conditions with 50 kilometres of metropolitan coastline, and the Sunset Coast is the ultimate destination for sun worshippers.

Everyone will find a beach here to fall in love with. Hire a car, ride a bike, catch a bus or join a tour to explore them.

They’re well maintained, and they’re all open to the public all year round, free of charge. Many have public BBQ's and children’s playgrounds.

Cottesloe - ‘Cott’ to the locals - is one of Perth’s premier summer locations. Its pristine white beach is great for swimming, and it also has beautiful, elevated grassed areas overlooking the beach, lots of shade from the summer sun, and a huge choice of cool cafés and restaurants.

City Beach is a regular winner of the prestigious ‘Best Beach’ award in Western Australia - an accolade for which the competition is very hot, indeed. Whether you want to go swimming, jogging or just sunbathing, this charming, clean and quiet spot is heavenly.

There’s also Swanbourne, Scarborough and the peaceful and relaxing Floreat Beach with white sand shores that are great for swimming, fishing or running along close to the water’s edge. In fact, the Sunset Coast’s world-class beaches extend all the way to the fishing village of Lancelin, 125 kilometres north of Perth city centre.

All kinds of seaside fun Along the Sunset Coast there’s a lot to do near all of our brilliant beaches.

The Western Australian outdoor culture is vibrantly on show, with alfresco cafés and restaurants offering great atmosphere to accompany the great vistas.

There are extensive walking and cycling trails hugging the beaches, allowing you to take-in both the dazzling views and the fresh ocean air.

Along the coast, you can dive into every imaginable water sport, from yachting to windsurfing, from deep-sea fishing to jet boating, from body boarding to kite-surfing, from snorkelling to scuba.

With a stunning marina setting boasting a waterpark, aquarium, sheltered beach and a huge array of shopping and dining, it’s easy to see why Hillarys Boat Harbour is one of Western Australia’s top tourist attractions. There are public boat launching facilities at Hillarys Boat Harbour, Ocean Reef Boat Harbour and also neighbouring coastal suburbs of Mindarie and Two Rocks.

We’ve also got your shopping needs covered along the Sunset Coast. Lakeside Joondalup, the largest shopping centre in Western Australia is only 25 minutes from Perth city centre by a direct train service.

Natural treasures to discover Further inland, the Sunset Coast region presents many fascinating opportunities to experience natural Australian environments close to the city.

Across the region, you’ll find walk trails through native bushland where kangaroos and wild birds watch you go by. There’s also some of Australia’s finest golf courses here which are regularly visited by the local wildlife.

The beautiful bush setting of Yanchep National Park features a koala sanctuary, amazing limestone caves and educational experiences of Aboriginal culture.

The beauty of this diverse region is that whatever kind of Western Australian experience you desire, from relaxing beach to thrilling action and uplifting nature, you’ll be able to find it close by.

You can also choose from all kinds of accommodation here, from hotels to serviced apartments to B&Bs to backpacker hostels to leafy caravan parks and camping sites.

On the following pages, we’ll take a journey through the three distinctive districts that make up the Perth Sunset Coast.

Swim and surf

Eat, Drink and be Entertained

Just 20 minutes from Perth city centre, Scarborough Beach is arguably Perth’s most popular beach. It’s well served by public transport providing easy access for all.

When you’re done surfing or bodyboarding, spend a relaxing hour or two at one of the many cafés or bars overlooking the ocean.

With the many new bars, restaurants and cafés just opened up at Scarborough Beach, you will be spoilt for choice! These venues are great places to sit with friends and watch those famous sunsets. If you’re still hungry, there’s casual fish and chips overlooking the ocean, or superb fine dining at the many restaurants of Scarborough, North Beach and Trigg.

Trigg Beach is Perth’s most consistent surf break, particularly over summer when it is often the only beach in the metropolitan area with a wave breaking. Don’t know how to surf? You can take a lesson. Some of the better known surf breaks include Waterman's Bay, Mettams and Trigg Point or ask a friendly local and they will be able to tell you where to find the best waves.

The City of Stirling has approximately 7.5kms of coastline under its care. Some of the better known swimming bays include Mettam’s Pool, a popular family location and calm snorkelling spot ideal for children and early morning swimmers of all ages, along with North Beach and Waterman’s Bay. Any one of them would be most people’s idea of a perfect beach, and you have all of them to choose from.

There is also a great pathway overlooking these beaches, which is popular with walkers and cyclists wanting to enjoy the fresh air and great coastal views - and of course the beautiful sunsets in the late afternoon.

The beaches are well equipped with facilities from public showers and restrooms to picnic areas and playgrounds, and most are patrolled by lifeguards all year round.

Stay Scarborough is an excellent location to find a place to stay. There’s a large range of beachfront options here, from backpackers, or affordable family apartments to five-star penthouses. Think of it: you can wake up and walk to the beach before breakfast.

Get Cultured Perhaps before you hit the surf, you might enjoy getting your bearings at Mt Flora Museum in North Beach. It’s one of the higher natural points along the Sunset Coast, and it affords some awesome views along the coast to Scarborough and across the suburbs towards Perth. Once you have taken in the view, head downstairs to the Museum to discover the rich and diverse history of the region through photographs, displays, artefacts and stories.

Fancy some retail therapy with your food?

Further inland, the Beaufort Street precinct in Mt Lawley is a treasure trove of funky cafés bars, eateries and boutique shopping.

Entertainment is plentiful on the Sunset Coast too, with the huge Innaloo Cinema Complex, the historic Astor Theatre in Mt Lawley hosting live performances, cinema shows and Perth International Comedy Festival in May each year.

Scarborough boasts the state’s only beachside amphitheatre for a mix of live shows on warm summer nights.

Explore Need to work off some holiday indulgence?

Hire a bike in Scarborough and explore the length of the Sunset Coast on the dual use paths stretching from Fremantle in the south to Burns Beach in the north.

Nature lovers and fishing enthusiasts will love the Marmion Marine Park, stretching from Trigg Island to Burns Beach. It’s a rich habitat where the reef forms shallow, crystal lagoons. Dolphins can be seen playing here, and sea lions laze nearby on Little Island. Starswamp and Trigg Bushland Reserves offer bird watching opportunities and access to wildflowers, wildlife and amazing coastal views.

Shop If you have the shopping bug, Stirling has three large shopping centres in Innaloo, Karrinyup and Mirrabooka. From national chain stores and groceries to designer clothes and gift shops, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Looking for something a little more unique? Try out some of the boutique stores in Mt Lawley or antique and vintage clothing stores along Beaufort Street.

This area is home to some of our most intriguing historical sites and many of the state’s most pristine and accessible nature reserves. Just north of the city centre you can explore dunes, limestone cliffs and bushland in national and regional parks.

There are beautiful walking trails through these parks such as the Yaberoo Budjara Heritage Trail, which provide plenty of opportunities to see native flora and fauna.

Discover Parks At the most northern reaches of Perth is Yanchep National Park, a natural treasure famous for its scenic beauty, picnic spots and walk trails, but also for one of Australia’s largest koala colonies and its programme of Aboriginal cultural experiences. At Wangi Mia (‘Talking place’), local Nyoongar people teach visitors about bush tucker, the didgeridoo and traditional dancing. Yanchep is one of Western Australia’s oldest national parks and is only 45 minutes north of Perth city.

If you’re up for a bit of adventure take a cave tour to experience the spectacular beauty of the park’s limestone caves. The caves in Yanchep National Park comprise one of the six major cave regions of WA and there have been more than 600 caves documented in the park.

Experience the Opportunity Playspace family park on Scenic Drive, designed to challenge and excite children of all ages and abilities, featuring interconnected playspaces, universal access play equipment, themed and sensory play modules.

Discover Heritage Wanneroo's oldest remaining residence, Cockman House, dates back to the 1860s and if you enjoy discovering unique histories it's a great place to start. Visit the historic Cooper’s Lime Kilns in Mindarie or stroll around Perry’s Paddock in Yellagonga Regional Park to discover other distinctive parts of Wanneroo's history. The Wanneroo Regional Museum is a must see to build a bigger picture of Wanneroo's heritage. The recollections of local residents wind stories around the fascinating displays to interpret the region’s evolution from an open land of lakes and traditional Aboriginal lifestyle to a thriving, multicultural society. The Museum has a fantastic children's playspace that will keep the little ones entertained whilst the rest of the family explores.

An important part of the history of the Wanneroo area is market gardening and it remains a distinctive feature of the landscape here. Throughout the year it’s easy to pull off the road and collect luscious fresh produce direct from the grower: strawberries, grapes, olives and avocados as well as fine wines and strawberry liqueurs.

Discover Mindarie Marina This wonderfully green district of Perth’s metropolitan area also offers some very impressive blue: at its western edge is the largest man-made marina in Australia; Mindarie Marina. Its Mediterranean-style boardwalks lead you to high-quality cafés and restaurants, plus a sophisticated microbrewery and a great pub serving sea-fresh fish and chips. This is an awesome place to sit back and take in the view: rows of pleasure craft with flags fluttering, sunlight sparkles off an azure ocean and, naturally, the dazzling evening spectacle for which the Sunset Coast is rightly famous.

Discover Our Coastline and Maritime Stories Whilst in this northern area of the Sunset Coast, take the time to go fishing in the beautiful Yanchep Lagoon. Or head further north again where you will come across Two Rocks, a peaceful coastal community.

Two Rocks also boasts a marina and boat harbour and the coastline is scattered with historic shipwrecks. The maritime history of this coast is littered with tales of coming to grief on treacherous reefs. These days, the many remaining shipwrecks have become interesting historic artefacts and gripping dive locations. At Wreck Point, for instance, you don’t even have to get wet to see a wreck: the remains of 1917’s Alex T Brown are still visible offshore, above the high-water mark.
