The best way to end the day is with an Indian Ocean sunset at iconic Cottesloe Beach – a 12-minute drive south along West Coast Drive, Curtin Avenue and Forrest Street. Get there in time for an afternoon swim, surf or stroll along the coastal path, or just take in the chilled out beach vibe under the shade of the Norfolk pines. Grab takeaway fish and chips to eat on the beach, or head for Cottesloe’s beachside café and restaurant strip for sunset drinks and dinner. Return to Perth via the Stirling Highway and Mounts Bay Road (approximately 15 minutes) for stunning views of Perth’s cityscape lit up and reflected in the Swan River.
