Latest reviews on Western Australia's beaches

Hamelin Bay Beach
10 Ezzy

Wow, this beach is a must-visit for everyone! We decided to come early in order to have a more peaceful experience observing the rays, but unfortunately, we didn't spot any. However, I wasn't really expecting to see them, so we simply took a stroll along the beach. At around 9:00 am, we finally caught sight of the first rays gracefully gliding through the water. They were absolutely stunning and surprisingly friendly! If you remain still and calm, they will swim right by your feet.

Guilderton Beach
10 ZXY

This beach in Washington is a must-visit for anyone looking to have a great time. The scenery is absolutely stunning and it's a lot of fun to explore. It's also perfect for families with young children, as the water is shallow and safe for them to enjoy.

Perth City Beach
10 Kavita Patel

This beach is the perfect spot near the city to witness breathtaking sunsets and admire the stunning waves. Take some time to immerse yourself in the water, and experience the tranquility that lies beneath the surface, just like the calmness within the sea.

Ledge Point Beach

You absolutely cannot miss out on visiting this incredible beach! Whether you're enjoying some fishing at the jetty or simply relaxing on the balcony of one of our homes, the breathtaking beauty of this beach will be right before your eyes.

Floreat Beach
10 Landon Ryker

There is a fantastic hidden playground located away from the main cafe area. It features a one-of-a-kind wooden play sculpture shaped like a facehugger, where you can enter through the mouth and slide down the tail. Additionally, there are toilet, shower, BBQ, and table facilities available.

Kilcamup Beach
10 Sassy Sue

This beach is a hidden gem that my local friend introduced me to. He gave us a ride there in his 4WD and was confident that only locals knew about this place. The journey to the beach was a bit rough, but I believe it will be worth it for snorkeling. I had the incredible experience of encountering a stingray for the first time in my life and swimming alongside it, which was absolutely surreal and unforgettable for me!

Please note that lifeguards supervise 31 beaches in the region, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

Do you know how many beaches there are in Western Australia? In total there are 284 beaches and the most popular is Twilight Beach.
