A Beachfront Transformed
For years, Scarborough Beach was Perth's most popular — and most neglected — beach precinct. Dated buildings, limited dining options, and a tired public realm meant it never lived up to its potential. That's all changed.
The multi-million dollar Scarborough Beach Redevelopment has created a world-class beachfront precinct that rivals the best in Australia. The transformation has been dramatic.
What's New
The Foreshore
The centrepiece is the new foreshore public space — a sweeping coastal park with an amphitheatre, water playground, barbecue areas, and a beach pool. The design blends seamlessly with the natural landscape while providing world-class public amenities.
Dining Precinct
A new strip of restaurants and bars now lines the beachfront:
- The Peach Pit — Beachside bistro with an all-day menu and ocean views from every seat
- Island Market — Hawaiian-inspired poke bowls, acai, and tropical cocktails
- Scarborough Beach Bar — Laid-back bar with craft beers, pizza, and live music on weekends
Scarborough Surf Park
The URBNSURF wave pool has brought consistent, perfect waves to Scarborough — regardless of ocean conditions. It's become a training ground for local surfers and a unique attraction for visitors.
The Impact
Property values in the area have surged, new apartment developments continue to rise, and the weekend crowds have grown significantly. What was once a quiet, slightly rough beachside strip is now one of Perth's most vibrant destinations.
