Cottesloe Beach
Arguably Perth’s most well-known beach, Cottesloe is famously picturesque, with grassy terraces and Norfolk pines leading down to the sandy shore and the iconic Indiana Tearooms. About 13km (8mi) from the CBD and easily accessible by public transport, Cottesloe has plenty of great restaurants and cafés on nearby Marine Parade and water that’s perfect for swimming. Every March, the beach is transformed into a huge outdoor art gallery, Sculpture by the Sea.
