6 of the Best: Sunset Dining in Alkimos
Nothing beats an Alkimos sunset - that golden glow on a balmy summer night, a warm breeze in the air as the sun sinks into the Indian Ocean... Add to that a cooling drink, delicious food and a great atmosphere and you’ve got yourself the perfect summer evening in Perth’s coastal north.
Whether you’re relaxing with the family, gathering with friends, or enjoying a romantic date night, we’ve rounded up the six best locations for a sunset dinner around Alkimos.
For panoramic views of the ocean, Ocean’s 27 is the perfect sunset vantage point. You’ll have a great view of the famous SS Alkimos shipwreck from the restaurant’s position atop the dune, and it’s just a short walk down to the shoreline.
Emulating true holiday vibes, this is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the view over summery cocktails and delicious modern Australian fare. Head down on weekends to enjoy great live music and DJ sets.
Ocean’s 27 is open 7 days, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and offers takeaway options for those wanting to get a little closer to the shoreline or head to the park with the kids. The venue is pet friendly, so your furry family members can enjoy the chilled-out atmosphere too!
The views go on and on from The Amberton Beach Bar and Kitchen, with sunset the perfect time to enjoy the relaxed beachside vibes.
Serving up cocktails and a range of beverages, The Ambie boasts a menu of modern favourites ranging from burgers to cured kingfish and everything in between! All beef is sourced from the owner’s farm in North Dandalup and is noted as being 100% sustainable and always preservative/hormone free.
