Scarborough Beach Location Scarborough Beach is a beachside suburb of Perth. It is located just 20 minutes away from the heart of the city and 20 minutes from Fremantle. It is on the Sunset Coast, named after the famous Indian Ocean sunsets.

Beach Accommodation

Accommodation along the beach in Perth is very limited.

The largest capacity property is the famous Rendezvous Observation City Hotel right on Scarborough Beach. It is a 5 star property. Rendezvous Observation City Hotel is a central feature of Scarborough Beach as it is the only high-rise along the whole 12,000 km Western Australian coast line.

Other pockets of accommodation are available in other beachside suburbs, and Fremantle. However, the bulk of accommodation is in Perth city. More than 80% of people attending the Surf Life Saving Championships will be accommodated in Perth City. It is an exciting and vibrant 'second hub' for the event. Accommodation in the city is excellent value for money. See accommodation for the latest specials.

Beach Shuttle

A 'hop-on hop-off' shuttle bus operating at the 2007 Aussies - making it very easy to get between the beach and the city. See Beach Shuttle for the latest information releases from DISCOVER WEST. Rental vehicles are also available at great rates, from compact cars to 12 seat mini-buses and 21 seat Coaster Buses. See Car and Bus Hire. If you are organising a group, and would like to have a charter bus at your disposal for special training sessions or club functions, this can be organised at special event rates. See Bus Charter.

Scarborough Beach General Overview

Scarborough Beach is one of the most popular swimming and surfing spots in the metropolitan area, and is equipped with public toilets, showers and change rooms.
Take an invigorating stroll along the seemingly endless shoreline before plunging in for a dip. Or grab the surfboard and catch a wave. Scarborough Beach is also a favourite with bodyboarders, windsurfers and kite surfers - see them in action or join in the fun.

Scarborough has a smorgasbord of cafs, restaurants and fast food outlets, so it's a good choice for lunch. You can either dine-in or take away to enjoy on the large grassy areas or under picnic gazebos.

The sand is soft and bright white and the sweeping panoramas offer views to Fremantle in the south and Hillarys in the north.

Here, restaurants, cafes, shops, stores, markets, pubs, bars and nightclubs are within minutes of the warm waters of the Indian Ocean.

The relaxed seaside atmosphere and attractions that Scarborough has to offer draws people to breakfast and brunch in the delightful alfresco restaurants and cafes.

The Perth sun can be intense. Please be Sun Smart and enjoy your holiday.
