Blessed to be in W.A and to have the best beaches inclusive of this beautiful beach. Enjoyed sculpture by the sea and the variety of weather conditions that provides a unique experience every visit.

Love Cottesloe Beach. Annual Sculptures by the Sea in March is a real draw card. Plus, of course, the ever popular swim zones and beach and board walk and grassed areas. Always a great space, and cafes just across the road.

Incredible beach! It might not be overly large but with such perfect sand and crisp clear water it the perfect picturesque spot. Walking out along the rock jetty gives lovely views back towards the coast and there’s plenty of spaces to sit along the edge if you don’t want to actually go on the sand. It was a shame all the facilities inside the pavilion building were shut when I visited but there’s a good number of toilets and showers freely available to use. Free parking available too mean I’d happily return here time and time again!

It was nice. Went for the sculptures by the sea. It was nice. Not overly excitted by this area. Love the old building. But it was a letdown as in the food selection. It was nice to walk along the beach. Good for people watching. The sculptures were good.

Got here and managed to attend the sculpture by the beach. The wave here is more peaceful and calm. Overall, I feel very calming and I can spend time there just to chillin' The art pieces are amazing. There were some artists performed using the musical instruments, I really enjoyed it.
