Cottesloe Beach’s Indian Ocean waves and sugar-like sand
make you forget quite easily that you're in the middle of a major Australian
city. When you’re lying on a beach towel, gazing out at the clear turquoise
water, listening to kids splash around and feeling the soft white sand beneath
your fingers, you’d almost think you were on a tropical Caribbean island. That’s
the magic of Perth – all the urban features you need and idyllic beaches to get
away from it all. Cott, as it’s affectionately known, is anchored by Indiana, a
restaurant housed in a beautiful building where you can sip a cocktail and
enjoy a spectacular Indian Ocean sunset. Beware Sunday afternoons when the
beach becomes crowded with local teenagers who walk down from the adjacent neighborhood.

Cottesloe is one of Perth's most popular beaches - it always seems to be crowded, but for good reason. It's really pretty, the sand is soft and the water is gorgeous. There's a lot of grass, which is great for having picnics if you don't want to get sandy.
