What to do near Perth Beaches

Location

Sandcastles Perth Apartments are on Perth's sunny Scarborough Beach, world-renowned for its white sand, blue water, stunning sunsets, fresh seafood restaurants and friendly atmosphere.

The Scarborough Beach holiday strip is just 15 minutes from the centre of Perth, the capital of Western Australia. Perth is a sunny, vibrant coastal city of 1.2 million with a climate and feel like San Diego in California.

To the south of Perth is the world famous Margaret River wine region, featuring beautiful coastal scenery, surf beaches and boutique wineries perfect for that long, lingering lunch.

What To Do

Perth’s many attractions include the historic port city of Fremantle, the untouched beaches of beautiful Rottnest Island just off Perth, Underwater World at Hillarys boat harbour, Kings Park and its panoramic city views from the treetops, and beach after beach of white sand and crystal water from Fremantle up to Mindarie Keys.

Other popular tourist destinations close to Perth include the pretty Swan Valley wineries within ½ an hour, the rapidly-growing seaside town of Mandurah, the fascinating Pinnacles, and historic old towns including York and New Norcia.

And an absolute MUST when visiting Perth - please ask your friendly Sandcastles Perth hosts about day tours to the world famous Margaret River wine and coastal region, only 2½ hours south.
Here you’ll find picturesque wineries galore and discover the joys of quality wine enjoyed by millions around the world.

Or try exploring the towering centuries-old forests south of Perth. The spectacular Treetop Walk near Walpole is a favourite of supermodel Elle MacPherson.

Along the whole Margaret River coastline, you can spot migrating whales. At the port of Bunbury and the seaside town of Rockingham, dolphins play. And the seasonal wildflowers near Perth resemble Provence in France.
