| What is Perth Australia Known For |
Sun, Sand, and Seriously Stunning Beaches
Perth boasts some of Australia's most glorious beaches. Think: powdery white sand that squishes between your toes, crystal-clear waters begging you to take a dip, and sunshine that'll make you forget about the existence of winter (well, almost). From the world-famous Cottesloe Beach to the secluded coves of Rottnest Island, Perth is a beach bum's paradise.
Pro tip: Don't forget your budgie smugglers (that's Aussie for swimwear, for the uninitiated) and your slip, slop, slap (sunscreen, hat, and shirt) – the sun here is no joke!
Swan River Shenanigans: Perth's Liquid Heart
The Swan River cuts a swathe through the heart of Perth, and it's more than just a pretty face. It's Perth's playground! You can cruise down the river on a ferry, kayak your way past majestic black swans, or even try your hand at stand-up paddleboarding (don't worry, falling in is practically a rite of passage).

Warning: You might just get a serious case of the happy chills from the sheer beauty of it all.
