Burns Beach is a coastal suburb located in the northern part of the Perth metropolitan area in Western Australia. Situated approximately 34 kilometres northwest of the Perth Central Business District, it is nestled between the Indian Ocean to the west and the suburbs of Iluka and Kinross to the east and south. Burns Beach forms part of the City of Joondalup and is renowned for its picturesque coastline, offering stunning ocean views, sandy beaches, and access to the Burns Beach Foreshore Park and walking trails which form part of the popular coastal path extending to Mindarie and beyond.

The residential landscape of Burns Beach predominantly features modern, medium to high-density housing developments. Over recent years, the suburb has experienced significant growth due to new land releases and the development of master-planned estates. The housing stock largely consists of contemporary detached houses with landscaped gardens, attracting families and professionals. Demographic data indicates that Burns Beach has a relatively young median age compared to other Perth suburbs, and household incomes tend to be above the state average, reflecting its appeal as an affluent residential address.

Commercial activity in Burns Beach is relatively modest, with most local commerce centred around small retail outlets, cafes, and community facilities catering to residents and beachgoers. The Burns Beach Cafe, overlooking the Indian Ocean, serves as a local landmark and popular gathering place. For broader shopping and commercial needs, residents typically travel to neighbouring suburbs such as Currambine or Joondalup, which offer a wide array of shops, services, and entertainment options. The balance of serene residential living and convenient access to commercial amenities makes Burns Beach a sought-after community within Perth’s northern corridor.
