Cottesloe Beach of Perth
With more than a kilometre (0. 6 miles) of pure white sand, Cottesloe Beach is one of Perth's most popular spots for swimming and surfing. Generations of West Australians have spent summer days diving into the ocean. People also like to watch the sun set over the Indian Ocean while enjoying a glass of wine, a cold beer or a relaxed dinner. In March the annual Sculpture(雕塑) by the Sea outdoor exhibition turns the beach into an outdoor art gallery.
What to see
The main Cottesloe Beach is the greatest place on the whole beach for walking. Peters Pool at North Cottesloe Beach is a great snorkelling(潜水) spot and it's right in front of the surf club. South Cottesloe is where the surfers will head and is great for watching wind. When the ocean's calm, it's also one of Perth's better snorkelling spots. You may even be lucky enough to spot an endangered sea dragon.
How to get there
Cottesloe Beach is halfway between Perth and Fremantle, about 14 kilometres (8. 7 miles), or less than a 30-minute drive from Perth city centre. Public buses leave frequently from Perth's Elizabeth Quay Bus Station. Trains run from Perth Station to Cottesloe Station every 15 minutes and get you there in less than 20 minutes.
Where to stay
Cottesloe offers plenty of accommodation(住宿) choices, including charming seaside hotels and serviced apartments. You can rest your head at the Cottesloe Beach Hotel, Cottesloe Beach House Stays or Cottesloe Beach Chalets.
