Time Out says

With tranquil waters framed by Norfolk pines and a pastel pavilion right on the beach, Cottesloe feels like a vintage coastal postcard come to life. The consistent swell is favoured by locals for surfing, and a cheeky little reef awaits for some snorkelling fun. The shaded grassy area edging the sand is even set up in tiers to ensure maximal sunset viewing. What’s even better than watching the sunset below the Indian Ocean? Doing so at one of Australia’s top spots for a Sunday session. Cottesloe Beach Hotel and Ocean Beach Hotel are renowned for their refreshing drinks and even better atmosphere to close out the week.

What’s on

South32 Rottnest Channel Swim

Whether you’re swimming, spectating or soaking up all the good vibes with a bevy in hand, the Rottnest Channel Swim is hands down one of WA’s most popular events. Conquering the 19.7-kilometre open water swim from Cottesloe Beach to Rotto is no easy feat, so you’ll want to be there as the bathers, budgie smugglers and support crews cross the finish line and celebrate at Thomson Bay. The best viewing points include South Thomson Bay, the grassed area in front of the Salt Store building and the mezzanine area above the Visitor Centre.
