Cottesloe - Perth

One of Perth's most popular beaches, Cottesloe is a wonderful spot to visit. Swimming, surfing, snorkelling, fishing and just sitting in the sun are all favourite pastimes at this premier beach location.

The famous local hotel overlooks the beach and has regular entertainment. It is also home to one of Perth's most popular 'Sunday Sessions'. There are many places nearby to eat, with many establishments having spectacular panoramic views of the Cottesloe coastline.
