Not sure how to explain the radiance of Cottesloe Beach, I have travelled quite a bit and this beach is absolutely up there with the best, just wish i had the $$$ to live there - lucky buggers! More

Lovely clean beach. Good waves for the surfers. Popular with families who purchase fish and chips and sit and watch the sunset. Others go to the bar/s across the road and sit on the balcony overlooking the beach whilst the sun goes down. More

The Indiana (Indian) Restaurant sitting on the beach and the grassy areas up to the Beaches Cafe where a throng always gather for breakfast. This is the best beach in Perth. Why the mediocre rating?

So it was fairly surprising to me to see just how little there is at Cottesloe - a few places to eat, and one general store which thankfully sells just about everything.... More
