Midway between the CBD and Fremantle, is one of Perth's most popular city beaches. Cottesloe, renowned for its relaxed lifestyle, is also a popular seaside holiday destination. It's a 15 minute drive from the city or a short train ride and an easy walk from the station.
Relax and enjoy a coffee or lunch at one of the many cafes before strolling along the beach or taking a dip in the Indian Ocean. Then as night closes in, choose from an array of bars and restaurants, sit back with a cocktail and a taste of the delicious local produce, and take in the spectacular sunsets day after day.
From the airport: you can get from the airport to Perth easily via taxi, or a shuttle bus if you’re happy to find your way to your own hotel from a central place. Pre book a reasonably priced private transfer if you want to get straight to your hotel after your flight to Perth.
In and around the city: the best way to get around Perth cheaply and easily is on the buses, trains and ferries operated by Transperth.
