ATTRACTIONS CITY BEACH WA

Of the 19 glorious white sand beaches that Perth has been blessed with, City Beach is one of the favourites. This beautifully clean and uncrowded beach is popular with surfers, backpackers and families keen to enjoy some of the 3,000 hours of sunshine Perth gets each year. City Beach is located a 20 minute drive west of Perth city, or a short bus ride from the central station. As you approach the beach, you'll pass some of Perth's most extravagant homes capitalising on the expansive Indian Ocean views. Through comparatively small to other Perth beaches, City Beach has a little something for everyone. A boardwalk, leading to neighbouring Floreat Beach, makes a lovely seaside stroll, and in the large grassy area above the beach, there's a kiosk, toilets, showers and a playground, as well as ample space for a picnic. For those who prefer to be waited on, enjoy laidback vibe, live music and great food at the beachside restaurant and drink in the spectacular Indian Ocean sunset. City Beach park and beach are very popular with schools, as well as sporting clubs and private organisations that regularly conduct social events here. Each August, the extremely popular City to Surf marathon finishes at City Beach Oval, making for a scenic end to the fun run. Accommodation options in City Beach are limited to a handful of bed and breakfasts and holiday rentals, so many choose to stay in nearby Scarborough, a mere three minute drive to the north....

Reabold Hill is the highest natural point on the Swan Coastal Plain in the metropolitan area. At 85 metres it offers sweeping views over the Indian Ocean, Perth and beyond to the Darling Scarp with glimpses of the Swan River. The easy 200 metre Top Trail is accessible via Scenic Drive off Oceanic Drive. The Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority, which manages Bold Park, initiated the Reabold Hill Enhancement Project in 2002 to provide improved visitor facilities, public safety and access for all to the lookout. The elevated boardwalk, which is wheelchair accessible, immerses visitors in a bushland experience as they journey to the summit. There is interpretive signs, seating, artwork inspired by life in a Tuart tree and 14 timber landings to take in the views. Restoration planting using local, indigenous plants enhances the existing flora which features Banksias, Wattles, Quandongs and other limestone loving plants such as the Cockies Tongue. Vehicle access to Reabold Hill is restricted to the following times: 1 April to 31 October from 5.30am to 7.00pm and 1 November to 31 March from 5.30am to 8.00pm.
