City Beach 2   

City Beach is a beachside suburb of Perth, Western Australia, located within the Town of Cambridge. Its postcode is 6015. The term "City Beach" is also used to describe a specific beach located within the suburb of the same name. The name is possibly derived from the fact that it is the beach that is closest in proximity to the city centre of Perth.

City Beach consists of three sections, a northern section (bordering Scarborough, a central section bordering Wembley Downs and Floreat and a southern section (bordering Bold Park). The southern section is the generally more expensive of the residential areas but arguably the Windarra Drive precinct is the most prestigious and expensive, although all sections place City Beach among Western Australia's elite postcodes. The northern part was built immediately prior to the 1962 Commonwealth Games (then called the Empire Games) as an athletes' village due to its proximity to Perry Lakes Stadium in neighbouring Floreat.

On the 9th of December, 2005, City Beach's high school was officially closed by the Department of Education and Training due to a lack of new student enrolments and the opening of Shenton College 5 kilometres away in 2000.
