The river is a great natural and free asset to the city. Perth Water, immediately below the CBD, is a superb foreground and mirror to the city — best seen from South Perth, and stunning at and just after sunset. The South Perth ferry is the easiest way of getting there. Perth Water is shallow, so ideal for “messing about in boats,” and small catamarans can be hired on the South Perth foreshore. Once past the Narrow Bridge, the river widens out and becomes home to several yacht clubs. Biking along riverside pathways is a great way to enjoy the city, the river, and the weather. You can rent both boats and bikes.
