Ask about the observing point(Beach) in Perth area

I live in Perth now, and want to look for some efficient points for observing in my free time.

And, who can tell me which beaches or one of them in Perth that I can stay in there all night? Because my classmates and I plan going to it for spending all night relaxing in this or next weekend, such as play beach soccer and at night can observe night sky.


If anyone knows this information , plz tell me in time!

Thanks!

Most people stay away from the beach - too much light pollution and the salty winds are no good for your optics. Most of us head for the hills! Perhaps Moore River to the north of Yanchep? There is a caravan park there near the beach.

Thank you Jacquie! Actually,we mainly focus on enjoying beach night, and we can watch sky, no astronomical observing.


But,thank you give me a good advice that in NORTH YANCHEP!
And I prepare to go to Perth Obs' in summer holiday and take my celestron telescope.
