Whether your idea of a beach holiday involves morning yoga by the seafront, seeking out the best surf breaks, or soaking up the sun on a white-sand beach, Scarborough checks all the boxes. There’s no camping at Scarborough Beach, but you can rent a cabin or check into a caravan site at the holiday resort in neighbouring Karrinyup, then head back to Scarborough for waterfront fun. Just a 20-minute drive from Perth, this hip urban beach resort is a hands-down favourite among locals, and it’s easy to see why. There’s a long sandy beach fringed by palm-lined promenades, green parks, and sand dunes, where you can swim, surf, and stand-up paddleboard. When the wind picks up, there’s windsurfing and kite surfing along the beach, plus there’s a great choice of bakeries and brunch spots. You can also cycle along the coast, swim some laps at the huge Scarborough Beach Pool, or browse the busy Scarborough Sunset Markets.
