We’re stoked to see Scarborough Beach named on Tourism Australia’s 2025 Best Australian Beaches list!
Completed in 2018, and designed by a UDLA, TCL and ARUP consortium, the $100 million redevelopment of the beach’s 1.6km foreshore helped secure its spot in this year’s ranking, with the iconic destination recognised as Australia’s best integrated foreshore, and 8th best beach overall.
According to Brad Farmer, Tourism Australia’s beach ambassador, Scarborough Beach is “just so intrinsically well designed for people and play by the ocean, ticking all the boxes for a perfect beachside destination well into the future.”
