Scarborough is a coastal suburb with some of the most iconic beaches in Perth, located less than 15 kilometres from the CBD. It is first and foremost a residential area, but also boasts a fantastic beachside entertainment precinct, with cafes, restaurants, shops, markets, a swimming pool and state-of-the-art kids’ playground and skatepark.
Some would say living in Scarborough is like being on holiday every day. The suburb’s namesake beach and nearby Brighton draw both swimmers and surfers – as well as wind surfers and fishers. If swimming laps is your preference, the recently developed Scarborough Beach pool is only metres from the sand.
Go shopping at Scarborough’s boutique stores, get ice cream from Dumbo Gelato or Cold Rock, and finish your day with a sundowner at Scarborough Beach Bar, El Grotto, Indi or any number of establishments by the ocean. Or take the kids to Scarborough Beach precinct’s skate park, rock climbing wall, basketball facilities or Whale Playground.
There are also several parks and reserves in Scarborough – including Abbett Park Reserve, with sporting facilities for football, tennis, cricket, lawn bowls and squash.
