It the most isolated capital city in the world, but once you’re in Perth you won’t regret it.

With sun and white sandy beaches, Perth is located in Western Australia between the azure Indian Ocean and the ancient Darling Ranges. The sun shines all year in Perth. In fact, it’s said to be the sunniest state capital in Australia, which makes it a great place for a holiday in summer or winter.

Maybe all of this sunny weather, or maybe the isolation, makes Perth the friendly city that it’s popularly known as.

Admittedly, it’s quite a drive to Perth – over 4400 kilometres from Sydney by road. That’s why it might be an idea to fly into the city and then hire a Perth car rental from the Perth Airport.

There’s so much to see and do in Perth: cruise on the Swan River or across to Rottnest Island, visit a handful of wildlife parks and full day trips to the Pinnacles and Wave Rock, visit the unique suburb of Fremantle with its working port, fishing culture and convict history.

North of Perth the coastline boasts some of the most popular recreation areas in Western Australia with excellent snorkelling, fishing and surfing

Some even swear that Hawaii imports sand from Western Australia’s beaches that are renowned for their white sands and crystal clear waters.

And the good part is, most of Perth’s beaches are only a short distance from the central business district. For awesome waves, check out the following beaches: City, Cottesloe, Floreat, Leighton, Port, Scarborough, Swanbourne and Trigg Island. If you’re not into rough waves, head to some calmer beaches like: Como, Crawley or Peppermint Grove.

So what are you waiting for? Get packing on that last minute adventure!
