Beach Drive Close to Perth

I'm new to Perth and would like to know if anyone can recommend a nice beach drive within a one hour-ish drive of Perth?

I fancy a run out tomorrow or next weekend if anyone is interested.

Tims Thicket and Whitehills, Mandurah

Jasen,

If looking south of Perth give Tims Thicket and Whitehills a go....

Tim's is a short stretch and good if you want to stop for a fish.
If you get on the beach at Whitehills you can travel south and get back on the black tracks from Preston Beach.
Just beware as the beach can get soft this time of year and it can get busy on good days.

North you can try Wilbinga Beach just north of Wanneroo or further north Lancelin where you can spend a day in the dunes or follow the coast to Wedge Island.
Haven't been up that way for a few years but have heard that it is now either restricted, or closed, since the new Indian Ocean Drive has opened.
Others on here may have more up to date info.
