SUNSET COAST
SCARBOROUGH BEACH
GETTING AROUND
Drive, rideshare, or cycle
along the coastal path with
ocean views. Public transport
is also easy. Catch a train,
then a connecting bus to any
of the Sunset Coast beaches,
or jump on the Surf CAT, a
free daily service that drops
you at Scarborough Beach
from Stirling Station.
SUNSET COAST / WAYLO
Stretching more than 50km
from Leighton to Two Rocks,
Perth’s Sunset Coast is home to
19 beaches, lively dining hubs and
family-friendly attractions. With
calm swimming bays, surf breaks,
entertainment precincts and
promenades lined with restaurants
and bars, this is one of Perth’s most
popular coastal playgrounds.
COTTESLOE BEACH
Cottesloe is one of Perth’s most
recognisable beaches, famous
for its grassy banks, Norfolk Pines
and the iconic Indiana Teahouse
overlooking the sand. It’s a glorious
spot for an afternoon swim before
spreading a blanket and enjoying
a meal alfresco as you take in
the sunset.
A post-swim stop at Il Lido is
a Cottesloe tradition. Housed in
a converted Art Deco hall, the
Italian canteen serves espresso
and hearty breakfasts, handmade
pasta for long lunches, and relaxed
dinners with wine at sunset.
Indigo Oscar shakes up bold
Latin American plates with
sweeping ocean views, while
Gibney leans into luxe, old-school
glamour.
The Cottesloe Beach Hotel hums
with live music on its veranda bar
and if you're looking to stay, offers
modern rooms overlooking the
stunning beach.
