Sunset Coast & Gingin
Region Information
The Sunset Coast encompasses the glorious coastline of metropolitan Perth from Cottesloe Beach along the famous beaches of Stirling, up to Two Rocks and the hinterland of Joondalup and Wanneroo.
The evening sun dipping spectacularly into the Indian Ocean gives this region its evocative name, and it's a sight you can enjoy daily, from any number of picturesque locations. While the beaches and facilities are inviting, and the weather is exceptional, it's rarely crowded. This area enjoys a wealth of open space that contributes to a wonderful sense of relaxation and freedom.
Getting around the region is easy, with an excellent road system that puts great beaches a short drive from the city centre, and the northern limits no more than an hour away. Most places are also accessible by bus or train.
Gingin
Further inland the landscape is a patchwork of rolling farmyards, idyllic coast, fresh seasonal produce and ribbons of vineyards, the stretch of countryside from Guilderton and Lancelin through to Gingin and the Chittering Valley offers a highly appealing place to explore.
This beautiful area is about one hour's drive north of Perth by following the coast or heading north on the Great Northern Highway.
