West Coast Drive

West Coast Drive is a scenic north-south route along the Indian Ocean in the northern suburbs of Perth, Western Australia.

[1] The road was initially a street which formed part of North Beach, which from the 1920s onwards was a coastal village which served as a holiday destination for Perth residents.

However, the demands of massive urban growth in the northern suburbs necessitated the extension of Marmion Avenue to Scarborough.

West Coast Drive was cut off in Trigg and southbound traffic directed onto Karrinyup Road.

In recent years, two- and three-storey houses, often with wide front windows and balconies, have been constructed along the east side of the road.
