Perth Beach Travel Tips

By Matt Link

The best beach months in Perth are during summer in the Southern Hemisphere, from December through March, with February usually being the hottest month of the year.
Be aware that local winds out of the southwest, called the "Fremantle Doctor," can blow up to 20 knots in the afternoons in Perth, especially in summer. Plan the bulk of your beach time for the mornings.
The most popular beach for nude sunbathing near Perth is Swanbourne. It's a family-friendly naturist spot, but be careful swimming here as the water is deep and there are no lifeguards.
Above all, always put on strong sunblock. Perth's proximity to Antarctica's ozone hole increases the risk of skin cancer.

Beach Overview: Perth, Australia

By Matt Link

Said to be one of the remotest cities in the world and closer to Singapore than to Sydney, Western Australia's Perth is both urbane and mellow. With a population of 1.5 million (over three-quarters of Western Australia's inhabitants) and built on mineral wealth, the city enjoys a perfect setting along the Swan River and Indian Ocean. Emphasis is on the outdoors in this area, with a coastline of excellent beaches in an almost continuous line from Cottesloe in the south to Quinns Rocks in the north, including a popular section called the Sunset Coast. The temperate year-round Mediterranean climate means plenty of beach days, and Perth is said to enjoy more hours of sunshine than any other major Australian city. Read More
