Trigg Beach |
Perth
is renown for its sparkling and white sandy beaches along the Sunset
Coast north of Perth. The Sunset Coast stretches from Cottesloe
all the way up the coast to Two Rocks.
Travelling
along Sunset Coast, there are plenty of beaches to choose from depending
on your interests. Swimmers tend to frequent beaches like Cottesloe,
Floreat, City Beach and Scarborough Beach, or Swanbourne Beach if
you are a nudist! And snorkellers can be found at the very popular
Mettam's Pool north of Trigg Island which forms part of the Marmion
Marine Park.
Access
to Trigg Beach is
off West Coast Drive. The Trigg Beach is a popular spot for surfboard
riders and body boarders catching a wave or two. Trigg Beach lays
claim to the most consistent surf breaks amongst the Sunset Coast
beaches. The area between flags is safer for swimming as it marks
the stretch of beach patrolled by lifeguard volunteers from the
Trigg Island Surf Life Saving Club.
Trigg
Beach is a great spot to watch spectacular sunsets over the Indian
Ocean throughout the year. There are park grounds just off Trigg
Beach at Clarko Reserve with BBQ facilities for picnicking. Clarko
Reserve is located at the end of Karrinyup Road.
The
shared path which runs adjacent to the West Coast Highway is popular
for walking, jogging, biking and roller blading.
For
those who prefer to stay on land, head opposite Trigg Beach inland
to the Trigg Bushland Reserve for a walk. Bushwalkers may also be
interested to explore the Scarborough Trigg Heritage Walk.
How
to get there:
Access
to Trigg Beach is off West Coast Highway. Heading north along the
West Coast Highway, turn off left at West Coast Drive. If travelling
by car, there are several Trigg car park areas to choose from.
