Scarborough Beach is turning up the summer vibes with a touch of European flair! The City of Stirling has launched a two-year trial of beach equipment hire and storage locker services, bringing a taste of the Mediterranean beach experience to our shores.

Approved in August 2023, this exciting initiative features two private operators: Scarborough Beach Hire and Mobile Lockers Australia. They offer everything from umbrellas and lounge chairs for hire to secure storage lockers.

Scarborough Beach Hire provides beachgoers with the essentials, operating from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM seven days a week during summer school holidays and on weekends during the school term. On the other hand, Mobile Lockers Australia offers hourly and daily rental options in various sizes, with operating hours from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM, seven days a week.

Mayor Mark Irwin expressed excitement about the convenience these services bring to locals and tourists alike. He emphasized that Scarborough Beach, one of Western Australia’s iconic destinations, will become even more accessible and sun-smart.

Visitors can now enjoy the beach without the hassle of transporting equipment, and the availability of shade options aligns with sun-smart practices. Cancer Council WA SunSmart Manager Sally Blane praised the initiative for providing sun protection, particularly in a region where UV levels can be extreme.

These services are strategically located near the Scarborough Amphitheatre entrance. User feedback will play a crucial role in shaping the trial’s future.

With these new services, Scarborough Beach promises a more convenient, sun-safe, and enjoyable experience. Say goodbye to beach equipment woes and hello to Euro summer vibes right here in Scarborough!
