Perth City
With weather as welcoming as its friendly locals, Australia's sunniest capital city of Perth / Boorloo offers adventures for everyone. Framed by the Swan River, the city boasts 19 pristine beaches, each blessed with dreamy Indian Ocean sunsets, and is home to one of the world's largest inner-city parks.
Perth Beaches
Perth's beaches are blessed with snow-white sands and pristine waters, and attractions abound both above and below water. Dip and dive with dolphins, soak up an Indian Ocean sunset, or indulge in an impromptu seaside picnic or dining experience. As Australia's sunniest capital, every day is beach weather.
Fremantle
Situated where the Swan River meets the Indian Ocean. Just a 30-minute drive or train from Perth city, it's bursting with vibrancy, colour and quirky culture. It's not just art galleries, pubs and cafés that are sprinkled throughout this bohemian town — the bustling Fremantle Markets (still going strong after 100 years) and one of Australia's first micro-breweries, are there too.
Rottnest Island
Getting to this car-free, protected nature reserve is easy: take a short ferry ride from the mainland or arrive in style by helicopter or airplane. You'll be greeted by 63 stunning beaches, 20 beautiful bays, an abundance of spectacular marine life, and the world's happiest animal, the adorable quokka. Pedal from bay to bay at your own pace or take a guided bike tour to discover lighthouses, pink salt lakes, caves and coves.
Swan Valley
Just a 30-drive from the city lies home to more than 40 wineries and 70 restaurants and cafes, the Swan Valley is both rich in history and contemporary. The region is home to a variety of artisanal makers, including coffee roasters, gin distillers, restaurant owners and winemakers that are family owned and run.
