South Perth
South Perth is a vibrant suburb poised along the southern banks of the Swan River, acclaimed for its lush South Perth Foreshore - the most picturesque spot to admire the Perth city skyline.
For those seeking a unique perspective of the city, Swan River Seaplanes offer exhilarating scenic flights paired with exclusive picnic packages, departing from Queen Street Jetty. Embrace the cool splash of water with an afternoon at Funcats Watersports, offering an array of aquatic activities - from catamaran boat hire to stand up paddle boards (SUPs). Bask in the sun while enjoying the dazzling views of the riverside surroundings as you work up an appetite.
Another equally active and scenic means to experience the foreshore is by bike. Begin at the Mindeerup Piazza on Mends Street, the foreshore gateway of South Perth, and return back over the Narrows Bridge after a morning of riding.
Mends Street and Angelo Street are both vibrant strips buzzing with shops, cafés, restaurants and bars to experience. The Mends Street Arcade is home to it all, while the Angelo Street Market is a South Perth institution. Operating since 1988, it’s oozing culture and its freshly made rolls are a must-try.
A trip to South Perth would not be complete without exploring the iconic Perth Zoo. This haven of diverse fauna from around the globe provides engaging experiences for all ages. South Perth is conveniently connected to Elizabeth Quay via regular ferry services, allowing for seamless exploration of the area's eclectic mix of attractions from Perth City.
