There are some wonderful running options along the west coast beaches in Perth. This route is on a paved multi-use path between the beach and West Coast Drive between Sorrento and Trigg. The distance is 6.8 km one-way. There are nice water views a good part of the way. There are bushes that block the view in some sections. Our thanks to Jonah Gannon for suggesting this route!

There are car large parks at Sorrento Beach and Trigg Beach. It’s also possible to start the route at other access points along the way. Note that there are gentle rolling hills! Have a dip in the sea at the end of your run or get a coffee at a cafe along the coast.

Add-Ons: Just north of Sorrento Beach, there’s some scenic running around the marina in Hillarys and out the ~1 km pier passing the Aquarium Of Western Australia. There’s also a coastal path headed north from Hillarys for 15+ km to Mindarie. ROUTE
