You'll instantly understand why locals cherish Cottesloe Beach, or simply 'Cott,' as soon as your feet hit the impossibly white sand. The turquoise water of the Indian Ocean is perfect for a refreshing swim, and the grassy, terraced esplanade shaded by iconic Norfolk Pines is the ideal spot for a relaxing picnic. It's a place to unwind, watch a stunning sunset, and simply soak in one of Perth's most picturesque scenes.
