Bunkers Beach House
What goes on Instagram first: the
close-up views of Bunker Bay, or the
artful plates coming from Ben Day’s
kitchen, such as charred sardines and
smoked lardo on toast, or Shark Bay crab
with celeriac rémoulade? However you
play it, lunch – and life – is good at this
breezy beach house overlooking the
ocean.Farm Break Ln, Bunker Bay, Naturaliste,

Meet Perth’s unofficial summer
clubhouse. Ocean views, a mighty cellar
and gratifying Italian cooking (buttery
clams with prosciutto, lasagne on
Sundays) make this seaside cantina
a likeable proposition. After something
more casual? Il Lido’s nearby spin-off,
Canteen, serves wood-fired pizza and
natural wines.88 Marine Pde, Cottesloe,
