Great seaside town with everything you would expect from a seaside including beach, sea, shops, restaurants, tattoo shops and amusements. We got there early today so it wasn’t too busy which was nice and were able to park easily along the front. Everywhere along the front was clean and tidy, the restaurants and amusements looked well kept. Highly recommend Scarborough over Bridlington

Scarborough Beach is one of Perth’s most iconic and versatile coastal spots: beautiful, well-developed, and fun for a wide range of visitors — surfers, families, couples, or solo travelers. It’s more than just a beach: it’s a full precinct with food, culture, and activities. • Strengths: Great infrastructure, very good facilities, vibrant social life, and really good for both relaxation and action (surf, skate, markets). • Drawbacks: Water can be dangerous, the beach can get crowded, and there are some concerns around maintenance and beachgoer behavior. Would I recommend it? Yes — but with a caveat: if you’re going primarily for a relaxed swim with no surf, make sure to stick to safe areas and check conditions. For surfing, skating, or just enjoying a sunset + markets, it’s a top-notch spot in Perth.

Very busy, not the nicest beach in the world but a very traditional seaside resort. You can find plenty of arcades, fish and chips, deckchairs, ice creams, fun fair, light house, and castle . Great day out for all ages
