West Coast Drive
The 6km West Coast Drive by the Indian Ocean coast stretches from Sorrento Beach in the north to Trigg Beach in the south.
West Coast Drive runs through 5 adjacent coastal suburbs – Sorrento, Marmion, Watermans Bay, North Beach, and Trigg.
Only a 25-minute drive from Perth CBD, the scenic coastal walking paths by West Coast Drive is a popular walking/jogging destination for locals and visitors. The walking paths are generally on high ground well above sea level thus offering unblocked distant views of the beautiful Indian Ocean, as well as the reef, the coastal rock formations, and beach activities.
The one-way distance between Sorrento Beach and Marmion Angling and Aquatic Club (MAAC) at Marmion Beach is approximately 1.5 km, therefore it is a good distance for a 30-minute walk.
There is ample parking at Sorrento Beach carpark and roadside parking along West Coast Drive.
