Cottesloe Beach

Cottesloe Beach stretches along the Indian Ocean with white sand and clear water, offering space for swimming and surfing throughout the year. The shoreline includes facilities, amenities, and dining options along the beachfront promenade.

The beach began its transformation into a popular destination in the early 1900s, attracting residents and visitors to its sandy shores. Over time, a waterfront promenade was developed with buildings and amenities that define the area today.

The Sculptures by the Sea exhibition brings contemporary artworks to this shoreline each year, turning the beach into an outdoor gallery where art meets ocean views.

Showers, changing rooms, and picnic areas line the beach, with lifeguards on duty during peak seasons to ensure visitor safety. Check local conditions before swimming or surfing, as water and weather can vary throughout the year.

The Indiana Tea House sits on Marine Terrace overlooking the sand and was added to the Western Australia Heritage Register in 2021. This historic building stands out for its distinctive architecture and has become a recognizable landmark that visitors often notice when walking along the promenade.
