Places to stay
There is generally lots to choose from as Scarborough is a popular area to stay
because of it’s beach front location. You’ll want somewhere close to
Scarborough Beach Road, as the Scarborough Community Center is further up
the hill on the corner of Scarborough Beach Road and Gildercliffe Street.
I’ve listed just a few of the more popular places but there are plenty more,
including many places on Stayz and Airbnb. The descriptions are copied from
Google- they are not my descriptions!
You may also decide to stay in Perth city and commute out to Scarborough each
day.
