15-1-2011 First visit to my favourite beach in Perth: Scarborough Beach

Scarborough Beach has the best white sand surf beach in the world

This Perth beach is the ideal Indian Ocean vacation destination to relax and meet the beautiful people of Perth who know Scarborough beach is the best beach in Western Australia

Scarborough is located 14km Northwest from central Perth

In Scarborough Beach there are many shops, beachfront cafes, fast food restaurants and pubs ... This is the popular Peter's by the sea (take away foods) Peter's is like a mini fast-food on the beach. There's a kebab shop, burgers, fish and chips, plated meals like steak and chips, ice cream counter and a basic bar serving mainly beers and pre-mixers. There is also a jukebox and collection of arcade games including Indian Jones

Eating in a local Subway

Sandwich and coke... Good enough

Again opposite the sea

This was my fav beach in Perth

Wonderful sand and crystalline sea

Frolicking in the intense blue waters of the ocean, soaking up the sun on the finest sand human feet have ever touched and forgetting all of your cares... AUSTRALIAN DREAM!

Total relax...

Let's go the sea, let's go the sea!!!

Marvelling, amazed, no words to express how beautiful is this sea

More pics with my aquatic camera

Enjoying the sun, the sea,... the relaxed Australian life

Nothing compared to this in my country. I'll love Australia forever and ever

After swimming... nothing better than a delicious ice cream... an artisanal gelatoooooo

Shops near Scarborough Beach... :-)

Last pics on the beach before going back to the city

Beautifuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuul
