Perth's iconic Cottesloe Beach is as pretty as a picture. It's one of the city's most popular spots for swimming, snorkelling, surfing and watching the sunset over a glass of wine, a refreshing beer or a relaxed dinner.What makes it a favourite among Perth's 19 sensational white sand beaches are its many charms - lush Norfolk pines, gentle terraced lawns and pristine sands provide the perfect setting for a lazy afternoon or family day out. A lively boulevard of restaurants, cafes and bars is the ideal place to enjoy breakfast, lunch, dinner, a sunset drink or a lively Sunday session by the beach. Its crystal-clear waters and constant waves make it a popular hangout for swimmers, bodyboarders and surfers, while the rocks and reefs also invite snorkellers."Cott", as it is affectionately known, can be reached by car, bus or train from Perth.
