BEACH TIME AT POINT PIQUET

Ulla Johnson bathers and sarong, Le Hat, and Isabel Marant sunglasses.

What's not to love about an unspoilt beach that only appears in summer when the tides change? Located between Eagle Bay and Meelup Beaches, Point Piquet is just stunning with its rich natural palette of rusty red rock formations, lush green vegetation and clear blue waters. 

Whether you're swimming, exploring the rockpools, or have your nose in a book, a swimsuit that fits, flatters and looks utterly fabulous is a must.

BREAKFAST AT LAMONT'S SMITHS BEACH 

LemLem dress and Isabel Marant sunglasses.

After walking the pristine talc-white shore of Smiths Beach, head up to Lamont's for breakfast. Throw on a sarong, tie on a robe or toss on a kaftan and get stuck into a bowl of superfood granola or buttermilk pancakes with maple syrup and sweet lime butter. Luckily that robe sash is adjustable.

LUNCH & VINTAGE SHOPPING IN WITCHCLIFFE

Ulla Johnson dress, La DoubleJ sandals and Isabel Marant sunglasses.

 The tiny town of Witchcliffe, or 'Witchy' as the locals call it, is full of surprises. Visit the cellar doors of McHenry Hohnen and Amato Vino and pick up vintage treasures at the Flying Wardrobe and The Tiny Store. Afterwards, head to the delightfully quirky Yardbyrd for sustenance. Tucked behind a pretty garden courtyard, expect great coffee, homemade cakes and jaffles with more acclaim than Meryl Streep. Dress breezily (not witchy) and take a tote - you won't leave this lovely little town empty-handed. 

Looking for that perfect romantic summer dress? Call off the search - we've found it. In a pretty print perfect for summer days, its flounces and sweeping silhouette will easily see you well into the night – no broomstick required.

EARLY DINNER AT LA SCARPETTA 

Maria Cher dress, Marni sandals and Isabel Marant sunglasses.

At the end of a long hot day, a mini dress boasts just the right amount of chic and comfort for the perfect casual night out in Margs.
