Sunset Coast

Sunset Coast is the name given to the coastal section of the northern metropolitan area of Perth, the capital city of Western Australia.

[1] While the name is not in extensive use locally, with its many white sand beaches Sunset Coast has been a centrepiece of Western Australian tourism planning since the 1990s and is used in interstate and overseas marketing of the region.

Some suggest that it stretches only over 50 kilometres (31 mi) of the coastline of the Cities of Stirling, Joondalup, and Wanneroo.

[4][5]: 2  Others claim the region starts at Cottesloe and includes the Scarborough precinct, Trigg Beach, Hillarys Boat Harbour, Mindarie Keys and Perth's northernmost beach at Two Rocks, which contains a marina and was formerly home to the Atlantis Marine Park.

The region includes the following nine local government areas, or parts thereof, listed from south to north: 31°53′40″S 115°45′17″E / 31.8944°S 115.7546°E / -31.8944; 115.7546 (Sunset Coast)
