Videos of Scarborough Beach

These short video clips capture Scarborough Beach and the Sunset Coast: waves rolling in ("Sets on the Beach"), Australian kitesurfing, sailing halfway between Scarborough Beach and Rottnest Island, surfing just north of Mettams Pool and Watermans Bay. Many were filmed in the early days of digital video, when most Australians did not yet have broadband, so they are short and small — but they show how the beachfront looked before its redevelopment.
