Default Scarborough Beach

The wife and I decided we would go with friends to have a meal yesterday down at Scarb Beach. We get there at 11am and discover that there is fark all restaurants there and some are not even open (holiday). We go to one that is open and we are told by the manager.."We are not seating or serving between 11am and noon. No breakie or lunch. WTF? Observation City no longer has a restaurant and by the looks of things is just a run down mess. Its also the only beach hotel so god only knows what the few tourists who do arrive there think. Top it off there are modifying all the traffic islands and its a nightmare just to cross the road. We are truly the worst in the world when it comes to tourism and service despite have more pristine white sand beaches and crystal blue water coastline than the rest of the world combined. Fark Scarbs.

WA has epic potential to capitalise on tourism...

Unfortunately too many greenies worrying about the sand dunes or someshit stops it.

Trading laws and high overtime rates kill trading on public holidays and weekends.

Agreed, the tourism here is a joke.
And whatever is open cost's more than double what it would normally cost.

Can you imagine what all the rich folk who shelled out $1M+ for a place in that new apartment complex on the south end will think. Good old greenies and councillors always looking for a step backwards.
If only the Whitesands hotel could be wiped out and something decent put in its place....

Scarb's is a JOKE now.

Nothing opening because no one goes there any more, Small businesses going broke all over the show.

The city of Stirling is trying to make it more 'family friendly' by keeping young people away (hence why Scab's Macdonalds was shut down).

The absolute mess that is the access to the carparks now is ridiculous.

You can't drive from the north carparks to the south one without going back onto west coast drive. The give way sign turning left out of Scarborough onto west coast has gone.

Wtf are the councils designers thinking???

The Lookout & Club A are being left to rot by the owners of Rendevous in protest to their forced closure by the city of Stirling.

The place has exactly ZERO atmosphere now, it's a shit hole....... AND it's an empty shit hole 90% of the time.....

Well done City of Stirling.

If Macca's pulls up stumps then you know its time to get out of there.

Yep bring back the skids at least there'd be some atmosphere to speak of!

Dave, all the chefs are at soup kitchens in the mining sector, chasing the big bucks, you know that
