You can change between standard map view and satellite map view by clicking the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. You can use the zoom buttons on the lower right side of the map to zoom in or out to street-level detail.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets — plus a labelled MGA grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below. You will find live weather, local and world news further down the page.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for City Beach, Western Australia, Australia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views.

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Geoscience Australia National Base Map — seamless topographic mapping covering the mainland, Tasmania and the external territories. NATMAP 250K shows the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 map sheets, mosaicked nationwide — the printed sheets generations of Australians navigated the outback with. The search box finds any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name, so you are not limited to City Beach.
Reading the map like a paper sheet. Click Grid to overlay the Map Grid of Australia (MGA), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as an MGA grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what emergency services and search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need mobile coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load, which across much of inland Australia is most of the time.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

City Beach unfurls along a coastline that tastes of salt and breathes with the restless energy of the Indian Ocean. It lies 9.0 km west-north-west of Perth, WA (from Perth, WA: bearing 285°T), and is situated 11.2 km west-south-west of Dianella. Here, the land slopes gently towards the water, a mosaic of manicured lawns, whispering casuarina trees, and stretches of pale, sun-bleached sand. The air, especially in the late afternoon, carries a peculiar sweetness, a blend of ocean spray and the subtle perfume of flowering shrubs that cling to the dunes. Waves, often a vibrant turquoise or a deep sapphire depending on the mood of the sky, curl and break with a rhythmic persistence against the shore, their sound a constant, soothing murmur that underpins the quiet hum of life in this coastal enclave. The character of City Beach is one of understated elegance, a place where the natural beauty of the coast dictates the pace, and the discerning eye can find moments of profound peace in the sweep of the horizon or the intricate patterns left by the receding tide.
The history of City Beach is intrinsically tied to the development of Perth, growing from a windswept stretch of coast into a desirable residential suburb and a popular leisure destination. Early settlers recognised the allure of its pristine beaches, and over time, this area evolved to serve the burgeoning city. The local economy here is largely driven by its appeal as a place to live and visit, with businesses catering to residents and the steady stream of day-trippers who come to enjoy the ocean. Notable landmarks, like the iconic Ocean Pool, stand as testaments to the enduring attraction of the sea, offering a sheltered haven for swimmers against the powerful ocean swell. The clear, bright light that often bathes City Beach, particularly during the summer months, contributes to its distinctive visual identity, making it a cherished part of the wider Perth metropolitan landscape.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name; offers Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets as base layers; overlays a labelled Map Grid of Australia (MGA) so the map can be read like a printed topographic sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as an MGA grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from Geoscape Administrative Boundaries (GDA2020) and enriched with GeoNames and Australian Bureau of Statistics data, matched by coordinate proximity — ensuring the correct City Beach is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
