Product Description

City Beach Aerial Wall Art — Perth, Western Australia

City Beach sits twenty minutes from the Perth CBD and has been voted the city's best beach more than once. This aerial photograph looks along the sand with the groyne reaching out into the shallows, water running clear turquoise over the sandbars, and the coastline fading north toward Floreat and Scarborough.

Two rock groynes frame the swimming area here, a piece of 1960s coastal engineering that still does its job. Behind the sand, landscaped lawns run back toward the surf club — City Beach Surf Life Saving Club has patrolled this stretch since 1924 — with a boardwalk continuing north to Floreat Beach and Bold Park rising behind it all.

Original aerial photography by Matthew Philip

Personally shot by Australian aerial photographer Matthew Philip on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro. The groyne gives the frame its anchor and the layered blues carry the rest — and the drone's 100MP Hasselblad camera keeps both crisp, from a small framed print through to large statement canvas, right out to the haze on the northern horizon.

Understated, and genuinely loved

City Beach doesn't have Cottesloe's crowds — it's the quieter, more residential side of Perth's coast, backed by some of the city's most sought-after real estate. This piece suits living rooms, offices, apartments and holiday homes, and it carries real weight for anyone who grew up in Perth's western suburbs.

Available as a fine art paper print or stretched canvas, with black, oak and white framing options across a full range of sizes. Every artwork in the Matthew Philip collection comes from his own aerial photographs of beaches he has personally visited and flown.

About The Location

City Beach is the quieter cousin of Cottesloe — twenty minutes from the CBD, twin groynes framing the swim, none of the crowds. I flew this along the sand with the groyne anchoring the frame and the coastline running away north toward Floreat and Scarborough. The surf club behind the beach has been running since 1924, and the lawns behind it make some of the best picnic ground on this stretch of coast. The 100MP Hasselblad on the Mavic 4 Pro holds the layered blues right out to that distant haze without the far end turning to mush. Some Perth beaches get all the attention. This one just quietly does its job.

Frequently asked questions

All canvas prints on this site are made to order—I print each one specifically for you using museum-quality materials, which means a 3–4 week production and delivery window within Australia. This isn't a warehouse clearance; it's a custom-made product crafted to last decades. If you're ordering before a specific date, get in touch and I can often prioritize your print. Free shipping applies Australia-wide, and you'll receive tracking so you know exactly when your piece is arriving.

Paper and poster prints ship much faster—typically 1-2 business days to anywhere in the world, with free international shipping included. If you need your aerial photography print urgently, this is the best option. The paper is archival-grade (same fade-resistant, professional-quality stock I use in gallery prints), so despite the quicker turnaround, you're not compromising on longevity.

Canvas prints ship ready to hang with your choice of frame style at checkout: black, white, or natural oak. Each frame is specifically designed to complement the composition of the aerial photography and arrives attached and ready to display. If you prefer an unframed print, that's available too—giving you the flexibility to source custom framing locally or match existing décor. Paper prints come unframed but can be ordered with frame recommendations included in your package.

Canvas prints are stretched across 390gsm acid-free poly-cotton matte canvas—the same archival-quality material used by professional galleries and museums for fine art. The inks are fade-resistant and non-toxic, rated for 100+ years without noticeable color shift when kept out of direct sunlight. Paper prints come in three finishes: matte (museum-grade), semi-gloss (vibrant), or fine art paper, all archival-rated. As a Perth-based aerial photographer who has shot every image on this site, I've invested in materials that will outlast the trends—your print is an investment in something that lasts.

Canvas and paper prints are low-maintenance. Keep them away from prolonged direct sunlight (which fades any print over decades) and humidity extremes. If dust settles on canvas, a soft, dry, lint-free cloth does the job—no cleaners needed. Paper prints benefit from framing behind glass or acrylic, which provides UV protection and makes them virtually maintenance-free. Both formats are designed to age gracefully; many customers report their prints looking exactly as vibrant 10+ years later.

I stand behind every print. If your canvas or paper print arrives damaged, the colors aren't right, or anything doesn't meet your expectations, contact me immediately with photos. I'll remake it or refund you—no questions, no process. This isn't just a returns policy; it's a commitment to your satisfaction. Email matt@matthewphilip.com and we'll resolve it within 48 hours.
