About Trigg Bushland

Trigg Bushland Reserve protects one of the last remaining areas of natural coastal bushland on Perth's northern beaches. Split from the beach by West Coast Highway, it sits roughly halfway between Scarborough Beach and Trigg Beach. Walking trails wind through coastal heath, banksia and gum trees, with views back to the ocean.

Getting there

Pedestrian tunnel under West Coast Highway to Trigg Bushland — The pedestrian underpass links the beach side with the bushland.

Walk or cycle along the coastal path from Scarborough, then use the pedestrian underpass beneath West Coast Highway — the kind of safe crossing many locals would like to see in the centre of Scarborough. The trails include steps and turnstiles, so prams and wheelchairs are difficult.

The Scarborough–Trigg heritage walk

The heritage walk links Scarborough and Trigg past historic sites and bushland. In late spring look out for wild figs ("Trigg figs") fruiting along the path, and towering gum trees close to the Indian Ocean.

Wildlife and plants

The reserve supports native birds, bobtail lizards and other reptiles, and seasonal wildflowers. Stay on the paths to protect fragile plants, take your rubbish home and keep dogs on a lead where permitted. See Scarborough's natural environment and public parks.
