After being voted in by City of Stirling councillors last year, an equipment hire trial – including beach umbrellas, sun lounges and more – will kick off this weekend.
The equipment hire arrangement is similar to what’s found on Broome’s iconic Cable Beach, and the timing couldn’t be more perfect with the mercury set to hover around 40 for the rest of this week.
They’ll have beach umbrellas and lounge chairs for hire, with an umbrella setting you back $15 and lounge chairs $10 for a half-day, $15 for the whole day.
They’ll also have sunscreen ($10) and towels ($25) available to purchase.
You’ll be able to access the hire equipment from 12-5pm on Friday and 9am-5pm on Saturday and Sunday through Scarborough Beach Hire – check ’em on Facebook or Instagram.
