As the sun kisses the Indian Ocean setting off a blaze of colour, Perth’s beach brigade rolls up their towels to relax – it’s been another fabulous day on the sand. Beach culture is hardwired into Perth’s DNA, with an almost unbroken stretch of photogenic beaches spanning Fremantle to Sorrento and beyond. Take a day to explore the mesmerising shore: you’ll find a patch of sand with your name on it.<br/><br/>From central Perth, head to the turquoise waters of Sorrento, next door to the popular family-friendly destination Hillarys Boat Harbour and home to AQWA, the Aquarium of Western Australia. Or, spend a serene hour snorkelling Sorrento’s underwater nature trail. Surfing more your speed? Continue south to Trigg for Perth’s most reliable beach breaks, rolling in from the open ocean. Refuel with a well-earned brunch at one of Trigg’s stylish oceanfront cafes.<br/><br/>For white-sand perfection, cruise the coast to Scarborough. Unfurl a towel and settle in with a page-turner between swims. Fronting onto the beach, Scarborough’s foreshore is a playground for kids of all ages: sparkling swimming pools, barbecue areas, skate parks, and a variety of restaurants and cafes. At Safe Swimming City Beach, families mingle on the shore as sausages sizzle.<br/><br/>The jewel of Perth’s city beaches is your last stop. On the glamorous curve of Cottesloe Beach, swim, surf and paddleboard crystal waters, or munch fish and chips under a swaying Norfolk Island pine. Close out the perfect beach day in Cottesloe’s pubs and classy restaurants, sipping a cocktail in the balmy air as the sun sets fire over the Indian Ocean.
