    Lots of great food, fresh fruit and vegetables, cheese, spices, dried fruit and nuts, clothing, cosmetics and soaps, accessories, arts and crafts, odds-and-ends, toys and memorabilia stalls and a good variety of ice-cream, coffee, tea eateries including a Crepes outlet. The market has a great atmosphere and is definitely worth a visit.

    This is definitely my style of beach. The sand is fine (as in opposite of coarse) and it just stretches on and on. The water is cool and refreshing, and clear - there's no seaweed or debris. The water comes lapping in to the shore and it's just perfect. If you're looking for a surfing beach, or some big waves, this isn't the beach for you, but it is still a great place to spend several hours.

    Looks great since the redevelopment but parking is still insufficient and 2 or 4 hour parking isnt long enough. Nice place for families and lots of activities for kids including rock climbing and a skate park. Heaps of cafes and dining options.

    It is beautiful here. My only complaint is that there are no tours that leave from Scarborough. We have to go into Perth and the ones that leave around 8:30 are not easy to get to unless you have a car (which we don't).

    (Translated by Google) A lot has happened in Scarborough Beach since the last visit in 2013. New beach promenade with swimming pool, great playground, skate park and well-kept sanitary facilities make this beach very attractive. (Original) Seit letztem Besuch im 2013 ist in Scarborough Beach enorm viel gegangen.

    Scarborough beach is a beautiful place, I love it

  • 5/5 Benedict U. 4 years ago on Google
    Scarborough beach is really nice and clean. The area was recently redone and it looks amazing. The facilities around the beaches are also quite nice. They have a snake pit skating and bouldering area as well as playground and grassy areas to lounge around in. The amphitheater was also quite interesting. There was also a public pool in the area too where you are able to swim and lounge about. It was really nice to walk along the paths by the beach. Everything was clean and it was easy to get around. There are also shops and restaurants on the other side of the road. We were there during winter but it was still quite hot and busy. I can see it getting packed during summer. I did think that it would have been nice to have more shade in the area.

  • 4/5 Carrie L. 4 years ago on Google
    Clean and pleasant scrolling leisure point for all ages. A number of sports ground and activities for children, youth, adults and senior citizens. Plenty of good restaurants, café and ice cream shops available. Consider a great one stop popular area must visit destination.

  • 2/5 Alexander P. 3 years ago on Google
    No longer really a beach, just another entertainment precinct. The "redevelopment" actually decreased the parking by around 50%, so there isn't even enough parking for the revellers, let alone the swimmers.

    It's a Western Australian beach, so of course it's awesome. Plus there's cafés, pubs, and restaurants close by so there's a variety of things to do.

  • 3/5 Tye B. 3 years ago on Google
    Always overcrowded, terrible parking, and overpriced everything. Beach itself is amazing if you can get a spot without people crowding you.

  • 5/5 Travis F. 3 years ago on Google
    Freo markets are always a cool place to wander around and chill. I like the atmosphere. Bit of music, good coffee, sushi, different food. It's and enjoyable afternoon out.

  • 4/5 Susen S. 3 years ago on Google
    I wish they have more seating in the food court area. I know it's already a tight fit, but surely they could come up with something. Apart from that, I like all the small shops in there, feels great to support the local businesses.

  • 4/5 Patrick K. 3 years ago on Google
    After not having visited for many years we went twice in two months. We were after a particular brand of tea that we liked a lot. This was the first day of the easing of COVID-19 restrictions in the wake of a five-day lockdown and I think people were glad to get out and about. There have been changes in stallholders over the years but there are still many familiar favourites. We had a nice lunch of ban mi made with roasted belly pork, a variation on the usual ones found elsewhere. Very yummy. The markets are always good for an occasional outing. I used public transport to get there. Disabled access is possible if a little difficult because of the crowds.

  • 5/5 Kim W. 3 years ago on Google
    very interesting, diverse offerings. Got some native tea blends. Can't wait to try them.

  • 5/5 Simon M. 3 years ago on Google
    Quaint markets in the centre of Freo with a fresh food section, some food stalls and a gifts, crafts, touristy area. Some very interesting stalls selling unusual items so great for a wander around. Parking is all around but can be tricky to find a spot when busy. We'll worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Tammy B. 3 years ago on Google
    It seems they have a bit of most everything. We loved the didgeridoo musician and the pianist. My son was very happy with the coffee from the bean place and I love the lolly shop as they have so many products that I used to have back in Canada and have a hard time finding here.

  • 5/5 Greer Family :. 3 years ago on Google
    A M A Z I N G!!!! Great market, lots of variety. There are flower shops, clothing, and more!! I recommend you check out the popcorn area, has tons of strange varirties including my favourite, salt and vinegar. Near the popcorn stand you can find a UK lolly shop and KND cupcakes. All opposite the fruit area ☺️ (sorry for terrible description)

  • 5/5 Simon F. 3 years ago on Google
    Very interesting. You can find everything here. Food, jewellery, camping stuff fresh fruit and veg. Loads of eateries from around the world

  • 4/5 Ana W. 3 years ago on Google
    The Markets are awesome. The only thing that sux is it can get pretty cramped in the weekend. Good to know if you have little ones with you.

  • 3/5 aaron j. 3 years ago on Google
    Experience was great, but over priced we had been to Bali previously, coffee we love coffee and coffee was not good but the bacon egg brekky burgers were absolutely amazing and the fruit markets were amazing too

  • 4/5 Scott C. 3 years ago on Google
    Lots of stalls and things to buy, but be warned some items are very overpriced

    (Translated by Google) Aussie Opals Direct. The worst experience I've ever had and customer service I've ever seen. On their web site, it says full refund for returns of any purchase within 30 days with receipt. But they won't let you do return or exchange. Be aware. If you're looking for authentic solid opal, buy it somewhere else. This store misled the customer that they won't tell you they're selling artificial “doublet” or “triplet” opal. More importantly, the lady in the store is very mean and a racist. They treat asians as stupid one-time buyer (traveller). Don't let it change. The attitude is extremely bad. I suggest you go to the Fremantle Opal store outside the market. The goods are clearly marked and the store is friendly. (Original) Aussie Opals Direct.

  • 4/5 Nanas R. 3 years ago on Google
    A place where you can still find one-off unique items not available in big centres. We got handmade jigsaws for children, alternate health care, imported lollies, non-franchised food stalls, handicrafts, clothing and vegies. A pleasant day out. Public transport best idea. Even if you drive close to Freo then get bus/train as parking a nightmare. Don't let the multistorey carpark deceive you. It took us 1 hour from getting in the queue to pay parking fee ticket to arguing at the exit gate why we shouldnt have to pay extra to get out because of the traffic gridlock to exit. Spolt our pleasant afternoon at the market.

  • 3/5 Perth Local G. 3 years ago on Google
    Fremantle Markets is a historical feature of Fremantle, Western Australia and much loved by locals and tourists for its rich culture of food, drinks, handmade products and fresh produce. A great place to spend an hour or three wandering through the various stalls, eating cuisines from round the world and savoring the cultural diversities. Freo Markets isn't exactly the greatest of places for those with mobility issues as the pathways are uneven, crowded and some stalls are up stairs. An ever changing scene happens inside these markets and the rich aromas always draw the hungry in. The outside is comical for buskers and musicians alike. Freo Markets are the place to be from Thursday to Sunday and Public Holidays. Parking is available nearby in the FOMO Secured Carpark on Henderson Street for $3.80 per hour or there part of.

    What an amazing place to go for all different reasons. Whether you're looking for a great beach day with Crystal water or taking the kids to play in the amazing play area to having a drink while watching the amazing sunset... Scarborough Beach is the place to be. Just beautiful!

  • 5/5 Chris and B. 2 years ago on Google
    If you're a Perth visitor DONT miss Scarborough Beach for these reasons: Scarborough Sunset Markets (great food and vibe), Dancing on a Sunday, beautiful sunsets every night, the beaches around Scarborough and the local shops, cafes and bars!

  • 5/5 karen w. 1 year ago on Google
    Always a lovely place to visit.Plenty of choices of places to eat n drink.Good safe footpaths to walk or ride along.Great place for fish n chips by the sea at sunset.

  • 4/5 Adrian E. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place as long as you can park! Oodles of motorcycle parking! Why would you drive a car?!... Lots of cafés and bars. Great place to take in a West Aussie Sunset! My only negative is the attitude of frustrated drivers treating the car park like Albert Park while looking for a space! Slow down and CHILL!

  • 4/5 Rashmi V. 3 years ago on Google
    The new development has made this beach very family oriented

  • 5/5 Sloan J C. 1 year ago on Google

  • 4/5 Laura R. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favourite beaches, however there are some string currents around so make sure you only swim between the flags. The wind picks up around lunchtime quite heavily usually so the mornings are the best times to go.

  • 5/5 Pieter Johannes K. 1 year ago on Google
    Clean beach with showers and shaded areas to relax. Nice waves for swimming and surfing.

  • 5/5 Roxane P. 1 year ago on Google

    nice place, perth first choice beach

  • 5/5 Cheryl P. 7 months ago on Google
    Beautiful stretch of coastline along the Indian Ocean with sandy beaches. Relatively quiet when we visited on a Tuesday morning, but it livened up towards lunchtime. Plenty of free parking, seating, toilets, swimming pool complex, eateries, playground, outdoor activity area and amphitheatre, plus sunset markets. In fact, it offers something to suit everyone. It can get very windy with strong currents, so sea bathing isn't always possible, but you can always have a dip in the pool instead.

  • 5/5 Kyle M. 1 year ago on Google
    Scarborough Beach is an absolute must visit and well worth the travel if you have to come a long way. This beach is consistent maintained and is always clean and safe to visit for the whole family. The showers and toilets in this area are also usually clean but have been left a mess by some people. Parking in this area can be a challenge during summer and on weekends.

  • 5/5 Corinne R. 10 months ago on Google
    Lived here all my life and wouldn't dream of moving elsewhere , permanently. Great beach , fantastic views, kid friendly skate park , Olympic pool with a heated kids pool , restaurants, great bars and of course , the kids Whale Park and footpaths for long walks along the coast.

  • 5/5 M L. 4 months ago on Google
    Scarborough is a very wavy beach. The waves can be scary if you aren't very confident in the water. It's not good for SUP best for boggy boarding and surf. There's a large play area, picnic tables, rock climbing walls, basketball court, skate bowl, and a coles supermarket within walking distance. Easy to get to on public transport.

  • 5/5 Anne F. 4 months ago on Google
    Beautiful beach with plenty of amenities, eateries and watering holes nearby to suit a wide range of ages and tastes.
