The Ledgendary Cottesloe beach.

Not Far from Perth on the way to Fremantle lie's Cottesloe Beach, one of my favorite seaside targets for those beautiful warm and barmy days.

At Cottesloe, the clean, pristine coastline and the smooth terraced lawns are filled with locals who congregate here to enjoy the sun.

Cottesloe is legendary for its Sunday Sessions, when the beach front pubs swarm with Sunday afternoon crowds.

The western Perth suburb of Cottesloe Beach is one of the few beaches in Western Australia with ocean side cafes and pubs.

The unique avenues of Norfolk Island pines, the colonial style splendour of the Indiana Tea House and the Spanish-style Cottesloe Civic Centre with its magnificent gardens all help add to the culture of 'Cottes'.

Generations of Western Australians have spent summer days and evenings diving into the Indian Ocean from the distinctive floating bell in the ocean at Cottesloe Beach. Fishermen line the Cottesloe Groyne and surfies and board riders line up along the Indian Ocean, either side of the Cottesloe Groyne.

Could there be a more perfect venue for a Beach Boys concert than Cottesloe Beach? Cottesloe Beach was the venue of choice for many West Australians to make merry celebrating the new millennium. Families and friend picnicked as the sun set over the Indian Ocean for the last time in the 20th century; boats sailed along the beach and the Western Australian Symphony Orchestra serenaded the new millennium from the sands.
