Go to any beach along the coast in WA and you wont be disappointed. The beaches are about five minutes' drive away.
Most of the beaches have cafes or hotels close by.
In early March Cottesloe Beach hosts 'Sculpture by the Sea'. Many sculptures have been purchased by local councils and have been placed in public areas.
Grab some fish and chips and your favourite tipple and head to the beach to watch the sun go down.
