Western Australia

Sunset Coast

One of the only Australian coastlines where the sun actually sets over the ocean

Perth faces west in a way most Australian capitals don't, and this fifty-kilometre stretch of coast makes the most of it, the sun dropping straight into the water most evenings. Climb the dunes along the coast for a different kind of view, sand stretching out before the beach ever comes into sight. Scarborough anchors the coast as its liveliest hub, a redeveloped foreshore built for swimming, surfing and simply watching the day end. Few coastlines anywhere turn an ordinary sunset into the main event.
