Introduction

Cottesloe Beach is Perth's most iconic shore — white sand, blue sea and Indian Ocean sunsets form Western Australia's classic picture. Each spring the 'Sculpture by the Sea' exhibition scatters artworks along the sand; a stroll on the esplanade, a swim and the sunset are a Perthonians' weekend rite. Beach cafés and esplanade steps are prime sunset seats; weekends bring picnics and yoga.
