Enjoy a picnic and watch a game of cricket on the grass of the nearby Cottesloe Esplanade.

Nice water and shore. Have been here many times and would recommend it to tourists and families. Fairly safe as there are lots of patrols.

Probably the best beach in Western Australia. This place has it all. From a walk out onto the rocks, from the wonderful sand beneath your toes. Cottesloe Beach also has wonderful restraunts. The sunsets are one of the most amazing to view. Highly recommend!

Great beach. For a quieter spot, go a bit further north where the parking is easier and the beach is less crowded.

Good shore. Not quite youthful family friendly in certain areas as the entry to water is quite steep. Birds from the trees round sunset may earn a dreadful racket. So much so that you can't talk. Sculptures from the ocean is well worth the trip down.highly recommended

this beach is overated and is full of tourist. if you really want a . good beach go north a bit and get some waves, not just sunscreen filled water. parking is shocking and the choice of parking and shelter is redicoulous.
