The Police Minister Liza Harvey has promised a crackdown on alcohol at Perth beaches following a brawl last weekend involving dozens of people.

Police were called to Scarborough Beach when violence erupted.

The local council also reported that bottles and other rubbish was left strewn around the area.

The Minister says she has met with staff from the City of Stirling and Surf Life Saving WA to work out a plan to police the area.

Mrs Harvey would not be drawn on the details but says the State Government will act on when it comes to people drinking on Perth beaches.

"What I can tell you though is that the plan includes a very serious crackdown on people taking alcohol to the beaches," she said.
