One of the most well-known beaches in the whole of Perth, Cottesloe Beach is located north of Fremantle and in one of the city’s most salubrious areas. The beach is always busy but it’s a lovely place to come for a swim. Every year, the council hosts the Sculptures by the Sea competition, where the state’s best sculptors display their art along the shore. It’s a great time to visit and explore these pieces – some of them are quite unusual!
