@wawithstacey: 15 years living in WA and I’m finally saying it… Rottnest is overrated! 😂🇦🇺 Don’t get me wrong, it’s beautiful. But Perth has incredible beaches without the ferry fares, crowds or expensive day out! Coogee, Mettams Pool and Shoalwater are just a few reasons I think the mainland deserves more love. 💙 Now I’m curious… am I about to upset half of Perth, or does anyone agree? 👀😂 #PerthBeaches #WesternAustralia #ExploreWA #PerthTikTok #aussiesummer
Stupid take. Rotto is about being there with friends and family and enjoying the kids being safe. It has a nostalgic feel. It’s not just about the beach.

Agree totally. Rotto in the old days was affordable to everyone. Now absolutely overpriced and affordable to the rich only. Main reason Bali is Perths holiday hotspot.

Abbey Beach in Busselton is probably one of the best beaches I've been to.

Esperance by far .. Twighlight beach, hellfire bay, lucky bay, Twighlight cove and Whartons beach for the win 🥇

Rottnest is about the vibe and if you don't get it you don't get it 🤷♂️

Waki beach (Waikiki) a lil further down than shoalwater is the best swimming beach. Shoalwater can get too seaweedy, rocky foreshore is good too but Waikiki and warnbro are my favourite 😊 I haven’t been to rotto in a few years, it was fun when I was a kid, as an adult it was meh

When I lived in Perth in the late 80s I got my rental bike 'repossessed' on Rottnest for doing wheelies! I was eleven! Fair point, I was interrupting people on holiday. 🤣

Totally agree with you! So many picture perfect beach spots around Perth that don’t cost $500 for a family to get there! 🌊🏖️

? Is there a reason we can’t just enjoy them all. You’re suggesting there’s only a finite amount of appreciation we can show for our amazing state. Strange attitude?
