When I was a child I wanted to be a mermaid. I think it had something to do with the movie Splash that made me want it so badly. Had I grown up near the beaches in Perth, Australia, I may have actually become one. I still get all giddy when I see a dreamy coastline and smell that salty air. So, a few years ago I started looking for the most beautiful beaches in the world.
Wouldn’t you know, I found most of them on the beaches in Perth, Australia. Perth is a perfect place for swimmers who love the beach. The waves are near nonexistent. The shimmering water is clear-blue and, in my opinion, a paradise for the mythical mermaid.
I mean, after all, if you can’t be a mermaid, you might as well swim like one. Here are the most fairytale-like beaches in Perth, perfect for those with a mermaid soul.
