Home to the largest coastline in the country, Western Australia is offering more opportunities than ever to build close to the beach.
Few capital cities in Australia offer the scale and diversity of beachside living found along Perth’s coastline.

New land estates are creating more opportunities for buyers to build close to the beach, without giving up amenity, transport links or long‑term liveability.
From the city’s fast‑growing northern suburbs to emerging hotspots, Perth’s beachside developments reflect the state’s relaxed lifestyle, strong connection to nature and love of outdoor living.
Here are some of Perth’s coastal locations where buyers can build near the ocean.
Jindalee, Perth’s north
Jindalee is emerging as one of Perth’s most distinctive northern beachside suburbs, defined by uninterrupted ocean frontage.

Long walking paths, shaded streets and generous public spaces encourage walking and coastal living.
Lot sizes range from compact 165sqm sites through to larger 2000sqm blocks, appealing to a wide mix of buyers. The suburb is also well serviced, with nearby train access, freeway connections, schools and major supermarkets all within easy reach.
Burns Beach, Perth’s north

Port Kennedy, Perth’s south
Fringed by the ocean and surrounded by natural bushland, Port Kennedy offers a quieter alternative to inner‑metro beach suburbs.

Kennedy Bay by Parcel Property is a new community within Port Kennedy, designed around a future town centre linked to the beachfront by a central boulevard.
Plans include cafés, restaurants, specialty retail and community facilities, alongside improved beach access and proposed recreational infrastructure such as a jetty and surf club.
The area is already home to the Links Kennedy Bay 18‑hole golf course and clubhouse. Its location, around 50 minutes from the Perth CBD and 45 minutes from Fremantle, provides solid connectivity for commuters seeking a coastal lifestyle.
Yanchep, Perth’s far north
Yanchep continues to evolve from a coastal town into a well‑connected northern hub, supported by major transport and infrastructure investment.

Sitting between the ocean and Yanchep National Park, the suburb offers a lifestyle shaped by both beach and bush.
Wolfdene’s Yanchep Junction is one example of the area’s next phase of growth, spanning 39 hectares within the suburb. The new estate is located about 4km from Yanchep Lagoon, a popular and protected swimming beach.
It’s also within walking distance of Yanchep train station and close to the future Yanchep city centre, planned to deliver expanded health, education, retail and hospitality services.
Cottesloe, Perth’s western suburbs
Cottesloe is prized for its iconic beach, village atmosphere and proximity to Perth’s CBD.
