Brighton Beach

Natural Attractions

Brighton Beach

Brighton Beach is a little local secret just to the south of Perth’s famous surf spot, Scarborough Beach. This stretch of clean white sand gets its fair share of big wave action, and is often a lot quieter than its popular neighbour. From central Perth, it’s an easy 15-minute drive to reach Brighton Beach. If you don’t have wheels, you can hop on a bus from the city station, or jump on the Joondalup Line north to Glendalough Station and catch a bus to Scarborough. There, you can enjoy some of Perth’s 3000 annual hours of sunshine with a swim, a surf, or by trying your luck at beach fishing. If the sea breeze is up, watch the stunts pulled by the local windsurfers and kitesurfers, or get in the water and grab some of the wave and wind action yourself. All this, and you’re still just a short beach stroll away from the buzz of Scarborough, with its lively amphitheatre events, shops and casual cafes, restaurants and bars, pubs and clubs, hotels and hostels.

Brighton Jetty

Historical Sites and Heritage Locations

Brighton Jetty

The first Brighton Jetty was built in 1886 and weathered the sea and storms for over 100 years. The Brighton jetty was badly damaged by winter storms in the 1994. The jetty was rebuilt using funds supplied by a mobile phone (cell phone) service provider, hence the tower on the end of the jetty. At the shore end of the jetty is a War Memorial arch. Here, traditional Dawn Services are held annually on Anzac Day to commemorate fallen service men and women. Brighton Beach is family friendly with plenty to do, see, eat and walk! The whole family will love this beach which has a long jetty over a big sandy beach that’s patrolled by the Brighton Surf Lifesaving Club during Summer.

Brim Art Silo

Landmarks and Buildings

Brim Silo Art

Guido van Helten’s iconic Brim mural was the first silo artwork to appear in Victoria, and infused the community with newfound energy and optimism. After gaining widespread local and international attention, Brim’s silo art success shone a spotlight on the Wimmera Mallee region and inspired the establishment of the Silo Art Trail. Completed in early 2016, with limited financial resources, van Helten’s mural depicts an anonymous, multi-generational quartet of female and male farmers. Rendered across these four 1939-built GrainCorp silos, van Helten’s subjects bear expressions that exemplify the strength and resilience of the local farming community. The work explores shifting notions of community identity when rural populations face immense economic pressure and tangible consequences of climate change. Using the documentary style of humanist street photography as studies, the translucent aerosol technique conjures a sense of ghostliness. The resulting characters are profoundly connected to their chosen place, infusing the landscape with a comforting, familiar presence. Van Helten was born in Canberra and grew up in Melbourne. Celebrating everyday characters, his monochromatic, photorealistic style offers a glimpse into the lives of others. His murals tell stories of culture, history and identity in an effort to capture the soul of people and place.

Picnic among lush World Heritage-listed rainforest by the banks of Brindle creek at this delightfully shady picnic area. Hitting the park's walking tracks is a great way to stretch your legs or work up an appetite for lunch, and a few of them start from Brindle Creek picnic area.
