Cottesloe Beach
Cottesloe, Australia

Cottesloe distils Perth’s coastal appeal into white sand, Norfolk Island pines and an inviting sweep of Indian Ocean. Spend time on the beach when conditions suit, then retreat to the grassy terraces for a picnic or a long look at the water. Cafés and restaurants along the foreshore make it easy to extend the outing into the evening. For a simple but memorable city experience, arrive with enough time to watch the light soften towards sunset.
