Overview
Highlights
Located on the west coast, Perth is privileged to have fantastic beaches, sunsets over the Indian Ocean and the Ride the Sunset Coast cycleway that ventures for many kilometres along the coast of Perth. The 14 kilometre section from Marmion to Burns Beach is an easy, half day urban walk or cycle that contains many of the highlights including Hillarys Marina, Marmion Marine Park, Tom Simpson Park, Burns Beach and other beautiful beaches and coastal vegetation.
The trail begins at the Marmion Marine Park, a wonderful area for snorkelling in summer. Just north is Hillarys Boat Harbour - with many cafes, shops and calm swimming area. Further north is Tom Simpson Park and Mullaloo Beach, a great place for a swim and coffee. From here, the trail north to Burns weaves through a natural coastline offering an environment rich in biodiversity and spectacular ocean views. Fishing areas, swimming beaches, lookouts, toilets, pubs, kiosks and stores, can all be seen along this wheelchair accessible trail or alternatively via a nice drive all the way up the coast.
