Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great beach & facilities
Jan. 2023 • Family
This is a great beach - beautiful water and sand and patrolled by the lifesaving club. There are many flat beaches in Perth but this is a beach that has waves suitable for kids and adults alike. Parking is pretty good too - lots more bags compared to some other beaches.

As well as the beach, there are some nice grassed areas available too, including some deck chairs you can lay out on upstairs from the beach area. Lots of good food options here too, from the very casual to a bit closer to ‘finer dining’. Changerooms and showers are also available etc.

Only thing people should be aware of is that you may encounter some fish in the ocean here. This might sound like a dumb thing to say, but there are many beaches where you don’t get to see fish up close so just something to consider.

Overall, this is one of the best beaches in Perth

More Seniors parking would be good
Jan. 2023
We thought we would have lunch in one of the Seafront Restaurants on Saturday 14th January however there was not a parking spot to be had within a reasonable walk so it shows how busy this area is. With the lovely beach area its so popular we will have to go mid week as we are elderly and cannot walk to far

Lovely spot
Sep. 2022 • Friends
We arrived in Australia at around lunchtime, fortunate to be met by, and staying with, friends. We came out here on our first evening to sip something sparkling and watch the sunset over the Indian Ocean. Plenty of activity, lovely spot, great way to be inducted into the Australian way of life!

Beautiful Area
Oct. 2021
Another of the nice beach areas that stretch along the coastline and with an upscale hinterland. Sunny and a slight breeze on the day but only a few people sighted on the beach.

Up-market suburb has desirable beach
Sep. 2021
City Beach is one of the most affluent suburbs in Perth, City Beach, the beach, has 500 metres of clean white sand. There's also picnic spots and children's playgrounds. City Beach is 10 kms from the centre of Perth, making it the closest ocean beach to the city. It's 10 minutes by car from the city centre. City Beach tends to be a bit more up-market than other nearby beaches,

Such a beautiful place
Nov. 2020
City beach is an absolute gem of a place. Never mind the drudgery and shoddiness of Cottesloe. The new sculptures are such an unexpected joy, enhancing the natural grass plinth of the shoreline, providing a place to snap a photo with kids and friends. Go take a look.

Filth of suburbia
Oct. 2020
People drive into this beach from their suburban homes and, it seems, dump their garbage here. We do not say this to take anything away from this beach that is good for sun set times.

Nice Beach
Jan. 2020
This beach has earned the title of Perth’s best beach a lot of times and I couldn’t miss the chance to visit. The white sand makes it a beautiful landscape and there is a lot of space for swimming. I have never seen a beach with artificial groins before and the locals informed me that they were there for safety and for fishing. It is a regular spot for surfers and many Surf lifesaving carnivals are held at the beach every summer. You will see a lot of wealthy people since the area has a famous restaurant for fine dining. There is also a playground for families and family activities.

Superb Perth Beach
Jan. 2020 • Couples
City Beach is as it says. Its the closest beach from the city. It has all of the facilities you would expect of a beach without the shopping centre mentality that other cities put in, next to a popular beach.

Don't worry if you're hungry though there are many decent restaurants to choose from if you just want to have a meal and enjoy the scenery. The beach is fantastic, clean and refreshing for a swim.
