City Beach

Last updated August 2026

A firm Perth family favourite built around two playgrounds right on the foreshore (plus a third across the road at City Beach Oval), clean sand and calm, clear water. It's less about the beach alone and more the whole setup - cafes and a restaurant overlook the play area, so parents can watch kids play while getting a coffee, and there's shade over the older of the two playgrounds. What to Bring Swimmers, sun protection Coins for the cafe if combining a coffee stop with playground time Best Age Range 0-12 years - the multiple playgrounds are the real draw here, alongside the swim. Good to Know Free, no booking. BBQs and picnic shelters along the foreshore, showers and toilets nearby, plenty of parking.
