While it’s impossible to say which of these accounts is the best, we would say that @Wonderlust.Perth is (arguably) the prettiest.

This extensive network makes Wonderlust’s photos both visually stunning and stylistically unique.

@saltywings
Speaking of killer aerial shots, if you’re a fan of beaches (especially from above) you need to be following Salty Wings.
Another collective of talented artists, Salty Wings was created with one purpose in mind:
Showcasing the amazing beaches of W.A. .
And we have to say, they’ve succeeded.
From the stunning bird’s eye of City Beach to the lush Pink Lake, there’s something extremely graceful about this selection of photographs.
Ok, so we’ve seen the beaches – now it’s time to actually get into the water…
