Summer is approaching and what better way to enjoy the warm weather than heading over to Perth’s own Sunset coast. With 19 white sandy beaches in the Perth region where clear blue waters abound, Perth is a fantastic destination for the beachgoer, whether it’s for a surf, or a sunshine filled trip with the family. Running from Mindarie Keys, North of Perth to Cottesloe Beach South west of Perth, the Sunset Coast is a 40km stretch of beach that will literally take your breath away. Whether you are travelling with your family, friends or your partner, don’t worry about the hassle of taking public transport; instead, use our Perth car hire services to get the most out of your trip to WA and get around to the beaches of your choice on your own schedule.
Perth car hire allows you to get to the beach of your choice with ease
The fun starts just a 15 minute drive out of Perth at Mettams Pool. This rock pool is a local favourite for groups with families, and is a great spot to do some basic snorkelling or swimming. Just another 5kms south of Mettams Pool is one of Perth’s most famous beaches, Scarborough beach. A great beach for swimming and surfing, Scarborough beach has all the amenities that you need making it an ideal location for everyone. The town has a great range of restaurants, cafes and take-away stores making Scarborough a day long destination where you can enjoy the beach and have a meal at the same time.
Get to some of the more interesting beaches in the area with car rental in Perth
A 10-minute drive South of Scarborough beach will get you to the less crowded Swanbourne beach. Those with family should be wary though; North of Swanbourne beach is a 3km stretch of beach designated as ‘clothing optional’. A popular nudist beach in the metropolitan area of Perth, North Swanbourne’s beach is clean, and the water is clear, so for the couples or friends that are more ‘out there’, this experience is for you. Remember that the car parks are not ‘clothing optional’ however, so if you could keep your clothes on when you use our vehicles for car rental in Perth, that would be much appreciated!
Cruise to the popular Cottesloe beach with ease using car rental in Perth
Just another 5 minutes South of Swanbourne will get you to the popular Cottesloe Beach. A great location for body boarders and surfers with crystal clear waters and nearby reefs providing a perfect spot for snorkelers, Cottesloe beach can get very busy in the summer months. Still, it is a beach to check out with plenty of free parking and an exceptional town centre lined with beautiful pine trees. Make sure you bring your picnic basket because Cottesloe is a perfect place for a picnic with some great shaded areas of grass running along the foreshore.
Are you travelling with friends and not content with just spending a lazy day at the beach? Perth’s beach towns have exceptional nightlife and are great spots for a drink or two with the popular “Sunday sessions” a perfect end to a weekend at many coastal pubs. Scarborough beach and Cottesloe in particular have some great pubs and clubs on offer for the more adventurous of us to party on into the wee hours of the night. Don’t forget to organise a designated driver!
With the Sunset Coast of Perth calling how can you say no? With 19 beaches of white sand and crystal clear waters perfect for not only swimming and surfing but also snorkelling, a trip to Perth should be at the top of your list!
