Scarborough Beach Road, road in Perth, Western Australia

Scarborough Beach Road runs northwest from Charles Street in North Perth, where it continues Angove Street, to Scarborough Beach. It is mostly a single carriageway with two or three lanes each direction, forming the western section of State Route 75. It passes Mount Hawthorn, skirts Herdsman Lake, crosses the Mitchell Freeway without an interchange, and ends 100 metres east of West Coast Highway.

The road started in the early 1900s as North Beach Road with simple dirt surface, originally connecting farmers to the coast. In 1912 it was replaced with a wooden plank road, later extended with limestone, and gained its current name in 1925 as the beach became popular.

The street name comes from the popular beach it connects to, which has drawn people for generations. As you walk along, you notice small shops, cafés, and homes from different eras that show how this neighborhood developed over time.

The area can get crowded on weekends and holidays, especially when people head to the beach or nearby shops. Public transport like trains and buses are available nearby, and there are parking lots and street parking options near the beach.

Scarborough Beach Road is one of only two arterial roads between Perth and Joondalup, along with Beach Road, that has no interchange with the Mitchell Freeway. A former southbound entrance ramp reserved for buses and taxis has since been converted into a shared path.
