Families flock to Perth beaches to celebrate festivities Jenny Ledingham, Dawn and David Bayle and Angie Milne celebrate Christmas with some bubbly. Surf Life Savers get into the Christmas spirit. Saveta Tegova and Lachlan Caird brought pets Theodore and Cleopatra to the dog beach to cool off this morning. Hundreds headed to the beach to enjoy the fine weather on Christmas morning. AS FAR as Christmas goes, every family has a tradition. And for many West Aussies this tradition is spending it at the beach. From Mullaloo to Warnbro, and every stretch of coastline in between hundreds of families embraced their festive rituals, while others such as friends Jenny Ledingham, Dawn and David Boyce and Angie Milne began something new. It was the first time couple Dawn and David had spent Christmas morning at the beach, and it was the first time Angie, who is from Aberdeen in Scotland, had been to a WA beach. "It's been great," Angie who flew in to Perth on Friday, said. It's a great way to spend the morning and it's great for the dogs. Today was also the first time Newman couple Lachlan Caird and Saveta Tegova had spent Christmas morning at the beach. Both wanted to soak up a bit of sun before heading to their parents for Christmas lunch and dinner. And even the lifeguards got into the festive spirit, by accessorising for the occasion as they patrolled the waters off Peasholm Street Dog Beach in Floreat.
