About

Cottesloe Beach is by far the most popular and well-known beach in Perth, and for good reason. Like all Perth beaches, Cott has clean white sand and beautiful clear turquoise water, but what makes it stand out from the crowd are the grassed terraces and park behind the beach, the tall shady Norfolk Island pine trees and the fun and lively atmosphere in summer when it seems everyone in Perth wants to be down at Cottesloe Beach!

Then there’s the striking art-deco Indiana Teahouse building, right down on the beach. It houses a restaurant on the upper level and surf life savers on the lower level. This building is a Cottesloe landmark, featuring on the post cards and tourist brochures.

Across the road from the beach you’ll find a row of cafes, surf shops, pubs and restaurants bustling with activity, but it’s not too built-up and so feels more like a village than part of the big city.
