My 2 sons were keen for a swim in the surf, we parked ourselves next to the surf life savers patrol trailer, just to be extra safe as the surf was dumping and towy as you would expect for a long stretch of beach.

Grunge. Indy. Beach babe glam. Scarborough always has been and always will be this. Peters do the best kebabs. Ocean 1 bar rules! Waiting for the idio owners of rendezvous to reopen the Lookout bar and that will be something. Great small surf beach.

This area of Scarborough down to Cottesloe is incredibly beautiful. Hire a bike from Cottlesloe and ride completely on a bike track for some 10 to 12 km either way

The beachfront area is perfect for young families and visitors. There are protected playgrounds and picnic areas as well as plenty of parking available. The ampitheatre is a great meeting spot. The cafes and food outlets are plentiful

Having travelled extensively throughout Australia, Europe and Asia, I can definitely say this is a beach that is a must see. White, soft sand, clear blue water and rolling waves that people surf. Isn't this why people visit Australia?
