    Its best to drop by at this beach at around 5.30pm to enjoy the scenery and wait for sunset. The strong winds can be rather chilling so remember to bring a windbreaker or sweater there.

    The Perth weather has been so calm and sunny we decided to visit the fabulous Cottesloe Beach on this winter Sunday afternoon. It was nearly traffic jam conditions as we drove along Marine Terrace to the beach area and eventually found a parking spot. Cottesloe is one of the best beaches in Perth and gives you the complete package, plenty of sand , water and waves plus terrarced lawn areas for those who do not like sitting on the sand. It is your chance to have a swim in the Indian Ocean. Very popular are the two pubs across the road, they are both icons on the Perth pub scene and know how to look after the beachgoer, cold beer, good food and music and in summer the beer garden is magic. Young and old people love the pubs, however the young majority rule.

    This hotel is across the road from the beach and is very popular during weekends, people have a surf then a cold beer to complete the enjoyment. The hotel is a landmark having been in the area for decades, located in one of the best beach locations in Perth there have been attempts by developers to develop the site with high rise apartments. Not successful yet as the local Council and the State Government have put a limit on how many levels can be built.

    This hotel is one of the "hot night spots" in Perth, particularly late in the week and weekends with people queuing for entry.

    With enough beautiful, and tan bodies on the beach to rival, any other beach in the World. Cottesloe Beach, is the beach favored by the youth in Southern Perth.

    Beautiful white sand stretches along the shoreline, dotted by thousands of tan bodies on a sunny Aussie weekend at Cottesloe. A popular beach for surfing, bodyboarding, swimming, tanning, volleyball, snorkling, and fishing. The beach caters to all types.

    A land mark on the beach is the Indiana Tea House. Home of the Tea Rooms, and the Cottesloe Life Saving and Athletic Club, which was establised in 1909.

    Definitly a beach worth paying a visit to while in Perth. If not to enjoy the countless ativities that take place on and off the beach. Then atleast to enjoy the beautiful beach and people that make this place a must see.

    I am normally not a sunset kind of guy. But never the less, i do enjoy a great sunset every now and again.

    We decided to drive over to Cottosloe beach, just South of Perth, to sit back an enjoy a sunset for once. Looking out over the ocean. In the distance you could just make out the faint outline of Rottnest Island.

    We took notice to the slight haze that hung just over the horizon, and had the slighest inkling, that we were in for a great sunset.

    As the sun began to take its place behind the curtain of haze. We began to see the colors of the sunset manifest right before our very eyes. For over 10 minutes we sat and watched in complete awe, over its radiant beauty, that illuminated before us.

    Before we knew it, the sun had fallen beyond the horizon. But we were left with this feeling of appreciation. Knowing that though one day had come to an end. Another one lies at the opposite horizon..

    Cottelsoe Beach is an awesome urban zone untouched by tourism and trashy trinkets.

    Just a 15-minute drive from the CBD, you'll find one of the great things about Cottesloe Beach is that it is patronised primarily by locals. Early in the morning and after 5pm, it becomes the zone of the seriously fit. They swim, run, roller blade and wave ski while enjoying the sites of this gorgeous coastal region during any weather conditions.

    "Cottesloe" was named after Thomas Francis Fremantle, Lord Cottesloe. 1st Baron of Swanbourne (in 1874), the older brother to Captain Charles Howe Fremantle who, on the 2nd of May 1829 raised the 1st British flag at Fremantle.

    Cott beach is the best beach in the perth metro area. It has a great set up with grassy hills if u don't like the sand, plus they give u a good view of the beach and other people.. also across the road is the cott beach hotel, which is a great pub all week round.. plus there are many fish and chip shops for a bit to eat and the OBH is just down the road, however i would leave that place for the country crowd. Indiana tea rooms is the large building lcated right on hte beach its a beautiful resturant/cafe with a great view and a very classy interior. La Tropicana is a cafe also located across the road and is my preferred eatery. Cott is great all day round with lighting at night for night swims or fishing from the peer. Plus you can swim out and jump off the bell, clearly a highlight. The beach suits families and young people and you are bound to always see someone you know there in summer.

    I discovered Cottesloe during a Sunday session at the famous Cottesloe Beach Hotel, which was quite amazing to see many people continuing a non stop week-end party. By the way the food at the Cafe was great too.

    The main purpose to come here is the scenery, which offers a popular spot to relax on the beach or surfing on the wave.

    A look towards Cottesloe beach from at the end of its Jetty. It's jetty is a popular spot for fishing, but be prepared to get wet when the waves are big.

    From here you can look in on the landmark Tea Rooms, to the left on the layered hillside is a favorite place for the locals to sit down and enjoy the beautiful sunsets off Cottesloe.
