Beachside Park Playground & Burns Beach Foreshore Lookout

A Perfect Coastal Adventure for Perth Families

If you’re looking for a spot where kids can play, parents can relax, and everyone can soak up those stunning Burns Beach coastal views, this duo is one of Perth’s best family outings. Beachside Park Playground and the Burns Beach Foreshore Lookout sit just a short stroll apart, making it easy to pair active playtime with scenic ocean views.

Beachside Park Playground

Location: Beachside Drive, Burns Beach

Beachside Park is a favourite with local families thanks to its modern play equipment, ocean breezes, and laid‑back coastal vibe. It’s the kind of playground where kids can burn off energy while parents enjoy a coffee and the sound of waves in the background.  You can sit outside Monelli Cafe and enjoy a coffee or meal whilst the kids run around the playarea and huge grassed park.

Why Families Love It

• Modern playground equipment suitable for toddlers through to older kids
• Shaded seating areas perfect for supervising comfortably
• Grassy spaces for picnics, ball games, or simply lounging
• Right next to the coastal path, making it ideal for scooters, prams, and bikes
• Open 24 hours, so you can visit early morning or for a sunset play

Best for

Families with mixed‑age kids, pram‑friendly outings, and anyone wanting a relaxed play session by the sea.  There are a few climbing walls, monkey bars for older kids, tunnels and the old favourite noughts and crosses for the new walkers to play with.  The play frame is suitable for 2.5yr olds +, there are a few open gaps on the platform of the frame where toddlers can fall off so be watchful of the young ones who are unsteady on their feet.

Burns Beach Foreshore Lookout

Just a short wander from the playground, the Burns Beach Foreshore Lookout is one of the most picturesque coastal viewpoints in Perth’s northern suburbs. With sweeping views over the Indian Ocean, it’s a favourite for walkers, photographers, and families who love a scenic stop.  It’s just a short climb up some stairs to get amazing coastal views and is a nice adventure for the kids along the wooden boardwalk which is fully accessible for prams/wheelchairs/mobility aids.

What Makes It Special

• Panoramic ocean views — perfect for spotting boats, birds, and even dolphins
• Open 24 hours, making it a gorgeous sunrise or sunset destination
• Easy access from the coastal path
