perth's sunset coast

life in the west is a beach

If one aspect of WA were to characterise life in the West, surely it's our beaches – those magical places where the Indian Ocean meets the land. Perth has clean, which beaches and blue water, contrasting the native bushland landscape just a short drive from the coast.

The Sunset Coast encompasses a strip of Indian Ocean coastline which stretches north from Fremantle, all the way up to Yanchep, 45 minutes' drive from Perth. Here it's all about the memorable sunsets, busy beach-side cafes and great, safe swimming beaches, all within a short drive from Perth city and Fremantle.

Cottesloe Beach is iconic, the most popular of beaches in Perth. But visitors can also find great shopping in the area, at Hillarys Boat Harbour, 30 minutes north of Perth. The Harbour is home to AQWA, the Aquarium of WA, but there's also great shopping and dining, right out over the water at Sorrento Quay. If you like the water, the Sunset Coast has everything you've come to Perth for.
