Cottesloe Beach
Perth · Australia
The short version, from the cited sources
Cottesloe is Perth's classic swimming beach, a terraced shorefront of lawn, Norfolk pines and Edwardian-era pavilion architecture facing the Indian Ocean. Its clear water and mild afternoon sea breeze made it the city's social shore for more than a century, and it hosts a well-known annual outdoor sculpture exhibition each autumn. Snorkellers work the limestone reef around the groyne while swimmers use the sanctioned enclosure areas.
