Perth has some of the most pristine and beautiful coastline in the world. White beaches stretch from the city's western suburbs to Lancelin, which lies 125 km north of Perth. Local life revolves around the water, and even in winter the sunny weather allows for many lovely trips to the beach.
We haven't had a chance to explore many of Perth's beaches (and expect to spend much time in the water when summer arrives!) but we have been fortunate enough to visit a few of the ones nearby.
Jindalee beach
Burns Beach (our local)
Burns beach is part of Marmion Marine Park, where limestone reefs run parallel to the coastline where many species of tropical fish can be found. Other animals found in the area include the Australian Sea Lion and Bottlenose Dolphin (which we managed to spot, but not snap a picture of, a few days ago!).
Yanchep beach
Yanchep beach is actually a lagoon, formed by a reef running parallel to the coastline. The reef forms a lovely warm swimming spot, and many fish can be spotted hiding along the reef.
Yanchep, like most beaches, has a cafe and green park area where one can enjoy a coffee or a snack after a long walk
We really hope this wonderful "winter" weather lasts and we can still enjoy many beach side walks in the months to come!
So nice to have a "local" beach =)
