For teens and surfers, Scarborough Beach is a firm favourite. The regular swell, impressive surf breaks and long stretch of white sand attract swimmers, surfers, body-boarders. Scarborough Beach is also popular for kite surfing and wind surfing, especially when the afternoon sea breeze is in. At night, Scarborough's foreshore comes alive. There are many restaurants and cafes to choose from, or you can pack a picnic and enjoy the large grassed areas, public barbecues and gazebos. Scarborough Beach features an outdoor amphitheatre which in summer hosts all kinds of events including beach cricket. There's plenty of accommodation along this stretch of coast, making Scarborough Beach an ideal place for a summer holiday. Surf Life Savers are regularly on patrol at Scarborough Beach, ensuring the safety of the public. Scarborough Beach is about a 20 minute drive north west of Perth and regular buses run from the city.
