Perth

Sleepy town with the beast beaches in the world (in my opinion). Although the city of Perth itself isnt all that crazy, the surrounding areas and the Western Australian coastline is home to my favorite places on Earth!

Fremantle Markets
@cocoferris
Pay a visit to Fremantle when you're here. The historic architecture is my favorite along with great spots to eat, you can spend the whole day here!

Rottnest Island

If you come to WA you MUST go to Rottnest (Rotto) for the day. You can take the ferry from Fremantle and explore the island via bike, cruising from beach to beach. Pinky Beach is perhaps my favorite on the island.

Margaret River

THIS IS MY FAVORITE PLACE IN THE WORLD. Rent a car and drive from Perth. It's spectacular. MINIMUM 3 days needed to enjoy it all.

Margaret River is known for its Wineries and you cant go wrong with picking one. Wine and Beach- this is your place!

Busselton Jetty
@cocoferris
The longest Jetty in the southern Hemisphere! Worth a stop and you can walk to the end or take a little tram to the end. There is also an open water aquarium where you can head beneath the jetty and see all the wildlife swimming around
