You may not be able to afford a home at City beach but this is one beach with a direct asphalt line to the city. It has better surf than Cottesloe and just plain handy! More

I loved this beach! The sand was lovely and the sea was perfect. A few gentle waves that you could body surf with and warm enough not to take your breath away. Good cafe in nice atmosphere at the top too. More

I've grown up on this beach. It's a classic white sand surf beach, no rocks. The surf can be dangerous and visitors are advised to head to the south end and stay within the flags of the lifesavers. There's a new Fish restaurant on the beach called Clancy's which is great, and just south of the Groyne ( rocky man-made... More

Pretty much all Perth beaches are lovely, and this doesn't disappoint. Cottesloe is still more of a "must-see", and easier to get to, but the drive to City Beach transports you out of the city into forest and scrub in quite spectacular fashion. More

Perth's beaches are awesome. City beach is the closest to the city. It has bbq facilities, pretty clean toilets and there are a couple of bars around. there are usually big waves so you gotta be careful when entering /going out of the water. Perfect place for a picnic with friends. More

I've seen beaches in SA, Victoria and NSW, I have to say without a doubt WA beaches are the best, clean, free of seaweed and rocks, just golden sand. City Beach is where we went growing up and still go today because the development is so good. It's not complicated, just simple and they have a good lifesaving club. More
