"If you ever need to convince someone why Perth is great (or uh, OK!), just take them to il Lido. Beachside relaxation (and views), with an uncompromising approach to quality has made it a stalwart for Perth foodies – even though its touristy location means it could get away with being a lot worse.

"Any pilgrimage to Fremantle wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the place where it all began. The Sail & Anchor Pub was the place where Phil Sexton and his uni mates turned the former Freemasons' Hotel into a brewpub in the early 1980s and, out the back, brewed the beer widely acknowledged as the first of the contemporary craft beer era: a traditional English ale called Anchor Bitter. They went on to form Matilda Bay Brewing and famously introduced flavours beyond staple lagers to an eager West Australian public while also demonstrating how pubs could be done better – and be made welcoming to women – too."

Catch a train and you will return to Perth in 25 minutes."

The beach extends 300 meters, offering different experiences from its northern or southern ends."
