Perth weather
Areas
Plan Perth beach days with Cottesloe, Scarborough, City Beach, Hillarys, coastal walks, sunsets and family-friendly seaside stops.
Coast Transport
A coast day can involve public transport, driving, taxi, rideshare, cycling or a longer final walk. Compare the complete outward and return journeys before linking beaches that look close on a regional map.
The Perth coast is best planned by conditions and transport, not by trying to visit every beach in one day. Use this area for Cottesloe, Scarborough, City Beach, Trigg, Hillarys, Sorrento, sunset stops, family beach plans, snorkelling checks and surf-condition decisions.
Beach plans need flexibility. Wind, swell, heat, patrols, local signs, water quality, parking and facilities can change whether swimming, snorkelling, surfing or a long coast walk is the right choice on the day.
The coast connects naturally with Fremantle, Northern Perth and Southern Perth planning.
