Perth, Western Australia’s vibrant capital, blends city sophistication with relaxed coastal living. Set on the banks of the Swan River and just minutes from the Indian Ocean, it’s a city where nature and urban life meet in perfect balance.

Cottesloe Beach is a local favourite—golden sand, clear water, and perfect sunsets. It’s a great spot for a swim, a stroll along the promenade, or a drink with a view at one of the beachfront bars. The beach is especially beautiful in the late afternoon as the sun sinks into the sea.

Across the river, the South Perth Foreshore offers peaceful walking trails, picnic spots, and sweeping views of the city skyline reflected in the Swan River—especially stunning at sunset or after dark. Nearby, the Crawley Boat Shed (or Blue Boat House) is one of Perth’s most photographed landmarks, perched alone on the river and perfect for a quick photo stop.
