Things to Do in Perth for Backpackers - Visit Cottesloe Beach

Cottesloe Beach is just 12km to the west of the Perth CBD and is debatably the most popular beach among the locals of Perth and long with Scarborough Beach to the north, is one of the favourites amoung backpackers visiting Perth. The easiest way as a visitor staying in Northbridge or the city is get the Fremantle Line train from Perth station. The journey takes little over half an hour but includes a 1.4km walk from Cottesloe Train Station to the beach itself.

Each year in March, Cottesloe Beach becomes home to the Sculpture by the Sea exhibition which sees dozens on unique scultptures scattered everywhere on Cottesloe Beach itself. One year, Cottesloe Beach was dominated by a ginormous goon bag.

If you are travelling on your own (or perhaps sick of your travel buddy!), you can join one of our groups and visit Cottesloe Beach along with all of Perth's other popular beaches on our affordable Perth Beaches Tour.
