The stories and practical details behind the map’s local places.
Abode Real Estate
Residential sales, rentals and property management from a Stirling Highway office, with a focus on Perth’s western suburbs.
Albion Hotel
The Albion is more than a pub stop - its Stirling Highway site has been part of Cottesloe’s hospitality story since the days of the old Halfway House. The present red-brick hotel dates from 1912, with heritage details, old photographs and character-filled rooms worth noticing over a meal or drink. The menu covers classic pub favourites, steaks, burgers, seafood and share plates, with beer, wine and cocktails across the bars.
Alison Jade Cottesloe
Brows, lashes and cosmetic tattooing at a Railway Street beauty studio, alongside Alison Jade’s own range of makeup.
Allen Park
Allen Park’s sheltered ovals give dogs room for an off-lead run when organised sport or other permitted activities aren’t underway. For a quieter wander, explore the surrounding bush trails with your dog on lead.

Anne Gee Art Studios
Paper-cut artworks, illustrated maps and sculptures under glass from Cottesloe artist Anne Gee, who also runs hands-on creative workshops.
Artificial Reef
Artificial Reef is a named surf spot on the coastal surf map. Offshore along the southern Cottesloe coast, west of the nearby Mosman surf-break marker.
Atom
A solid piece of white marble becomes something surprisingly soft in Jina Lee's Atom. Created in 2014 and exhibited at Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe in 2015, its rounded, organic form reflects Lee's interest in finding natural balance within stone. It sits in the front corner garden of a private house. View it from the public path, where its openings, curves and shadows shift with your viewpoint and the coastal light. Please stay out of the garden.
Austin Surveys
A Cottesloe-based surveying practice covering property boundaries, construction, subdivisions, aerial mapping and three-dimensional laser scanning across Western Australia.
Azure Medical
A family medical practice upstairs at Cottesloe Central, offering GP appointments, health assessments, skin checks and other booked services.

Boatshed Market
Come for the food, but look up while you’re here. Boatshed Market occupies a site with a remarkable boat-building past: Australia II, winner of the 1983 America’s Cup, was built here. Today it’s one of Cott’s best-known food destinations, with fresh produce, butcher and seafood counters, a bakery and patisserie, deli food and groceries. There are also flowers, coffee and chef-prepared meals. Upstairs, you’ll find BŌTO Teppanyaki + Wine Loft.

Cellarbrations Cottesloe
Wine, beer and spirits on Cottesloe Central’s ground floor, making it a straightforward stop alongside the grocery shopping.
Centrefold
Try putting the Indian Ocean inside Mark Grey-Smith's Centrefold. Its folded geometric form creates a window through the sculpture, turning sea, sky and horizon into part of the work. Acquired from Sculpture by the Sea in 2006, it has become one of the most recognisable pieces along the North Cott foreshore, with people loving to take photos with themselves in the middle of the sculpture.
Christ Church Grammar School
An Anglican boys’ school beside the Swan River in Claremont, with early learning, preparatory and senior education and boarding.
Cimbalino Cafe & Kitchen
A Napoleon Street café for coffee and a meal in the village, with order-ahead takeaway for a quicker stop.

Coles Local Mosman Park
Fresh food and everyday groceries at Coles Local Mosman Park, with scoop-and-weigh options in its Harvey Street store.
Converse
Here’s an artwork you’re meant to sit on. Henning Meeves and Claire Molloy created Converse around a lone Cottesloe tree, inviting you to pause, take a seat and listen to the place around you. The two low concrete forms face each other like a conversation, with the tree, ocean air and passing sounds becoming part of the experience.
Cottesglow
Facials, massage, waxing and brow and lash appointments at Cottesloe Central, with longer body rituals and spa packages available.
Cottesloe Beach
White sand, Norfolk Island pines, grassy terraces and the Indian Ocean - this is the Cott scene people come looking for. Swim inside the seasonal protected enclosure, spread out on the lawn, find some summer shade or wander the promenade. The offshore Pylon and landmark Indiana building make getting your bearings easy, especially as sunset starts drawing everyone towards the water.
Cottesloe Beach General Store
Coffee, burgers, fish and chips, groceries and Cottesloe souvenirs at a beachside general store opposite the sand and pines.
Cottesloe Beach Hotel
Part pub, part restaurant, part beachfront meeting place - the Cottesloe Beach Hotel is one of Cott's busiest food, drink and entertainment venues, with the Verandah Bar, Beach Club & Terrace and Tigerfish all under one roof. The long Marine Parade frontage is also part of the experience: much of its familiar streamlined appearance dates from a major 1930s Art Deco remodelling.
Cottesloe Beach Pylon
There it is - the little pylon standing alone offshore, probably Cott's simplest and most recognisable landmark. Built in the 1930s as one of three pylons for an ambitious shark-proof swimming enclosure, it has long outlasted the scheme that put it there. And don't get too attached to its colour - local surf clubs have been repainting it in their own stripes for bragging rights for decades.
Cottesloe Beach wheelchair collection
Cott's sand doesn't have to be off limits if a standard wheelchair can't manage it. The Town provides purpose-built Sandcruiser and Surf N Turf beach wheelchairs free of charge during the warmer months. Book before you come, collect the chair at beach level beneath Indiana, and make the sand and shoreline part of the day.
Cottesloe Cable Station (former)
Before instant messages, this quiet corner of Cott was part of an international communications network. Submarine telegraph cables came ashore here, carrying messages between Western Australia and the wider world via Cocos and Mauritius. The substantial 1926 cable station still stands above the southern foreshore - a surprisingly important piece of communications history hiding in plain sight.
Cottesloe Car & Ute Hire
Cars, utes, vans and people movers for hire from a Swanbourne base, with smaller vehicles for getting around town.
Cottesloe Chiropractic Centre
Chiropractic appointments, remedial massage and nutrition consultations at a Forrest Street practice, with assessment and care tailored to individual concerns. Physio coming soon
Cottesloe Civic Centre and grounds
Swap the sand for sweeping lawns, shady gardens, arches and a rather grand former home. Cottesloe Civic Centre is much more than the Town's offices - its terraced heritage gardens are a beautiful public park above the beachfront. Bring a picnic, find a shady seat, let the kids explore the playground or simply wander and see what opens up next.
Cottesloe Counselling Centre
Psychology, counselling and psychotherapy near Cottesloe station, with services for individuals, couples and families and telehealth appointments available.
Cottesloe Dental
A long-established dental practice on Stirling Highway, offering family dental care, oral hygiene appointments and help with dental emergencies.
Cottesloe Flour Mill (former)
Red brick, arched windows and an old loading bay reveal a very different side of Cott. Flour was milled on this site for most of the twentieth century, with the surviving 1930s building towering above the surrounding houses. Look up at the old hoist opening and imagine bags of flour moving between its floors.
Cottesloe Groyne
Walk out towards the end of Cottesloe Groyne and turn around - it's one of the best places to photograph Indiana, the Norfolk Island pines and the sweep of Cottesloe Beach. Built around 1960 to tackle serious beach erosion, the groyne changed this coastline dramatically. It also created the sheltered, sandy corner of the main beach that generations of swimmers have enjoyed since.
Cottesloe Hair Gallery
Tucked into Napoleon Arcade, this salon offers hair styling and bridal appointments. It is a separate business from Hartley’s Hair Gallery. Get in touch with the salon to discuss your appointment.
Cottesloe Kindergarten and Childcare
A not-for-profit early education and childcare centre on Marmion Street, providing long day care for children aged one to six.
Cottesloe Native Garden
This small patch beside Seaview Kindergarten protects something increasingly rare in Cott - remnant native vegetation still growing on its original limestone ridge. Slow down, have a wonder on the short meandering trail and look closely for old grass trees, low shrubs, sedges and seasonal wildflowers. Cottesloe Coastcare has been restoring the site since 2006, helping protect plants that survive nowhere else in the town.
Cottesloe Nature Discovery Space at Vlamingh
Logs to balance on, rocks to climb, cubbies to build and a baby humpback whale hiding in the landscape - this isn't a conventional playground. The Cottesloe Nature Discovery Space was designed for children to explore, touch, make and imagine within the restored coastal vegetation at Vlamingh. Opened in 2020, it grew directly from Cottesloe Coastcare's work to repair this once-degraded dune site.
Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic
A Napoleon Close practice offering naturopathy, herbal medicine, nutrition and homeopathy consultations, with appointments led by practitioner Michael Blanch.
Cottesloe Personal Training
A small personal-training studio at Cottesloe Central, with tailored strength and mobility sessions and the option to train with a friend.
Cottesloe Post Office and Telephone Exchange (former)
Before messages fitted in our pockets, this limestone building was Cott's communications hub. Built in 1897 and opened as the Post Office and Telephone Exchange in 1898, it connected a rapidly growing suburb by mail, telegraph and telephone. Its deep verandah and thick stone walls still make it an easy landmark opposite Cottesloe Station.
Cottesloe Primary School
A small independent public school in Peppermint Grove, teaching children from Kindergarten to Year 6 and serving surrounding families.
Cottesloe Sports Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy, clinical Pilates, massage and podiatry share a 1930s bungalow at the corner of Napier Street and Stirling Highway.
Cottesloe Sundial
Let the sun do the timekeeping for a moment. Cottesloe's sculptural sundial stands on Mudurup, the limestone headland at the southern end of the main beach and a place of continuing significance to Whadjuk Noongar people. Designed by Considine & Griffiths with astrophysicist Tony Hooley for Australia's 1988 Bicentenary, it turns limestone, concrete, stainless steel and sunlight into a working clock.
Cottesloe Surf Life Saving Club
That red-and-yellow flag on Cottesloe Beach comes with more than a century of local history behind it. Formed in 1909, Cottesloe Surf Life Saving Club was WA's first surf lifesaving club and remains a busy base for volunteer patrols, training, competition and generations of young Nippers learning their way around the ocean.
Cottesloe Tennis Club
With 27 grass courts and 10 lit hard courts, Cottesloe Tennis Club is one of Cott's biggest sporting spaces - and visitors don't need to be members to play. Book a court, join an eligible social session or organise coaching, then make a day of it with the Civic Centre gardens and beach nearby.
Cottesloe Toy Library
A volunteer-run toy library on Marmion Street, lending toys, games and outdoor play equipment to families with young children.
Cottesloe Train Station
Step off the Fremantle Line and you're already in Cottesloe Village - definitely worth exploring before making straight for the beach. Browse Napoleon Street for shopping, cafes and food, then look for sculptures and murals around the station and nearby streets. When you're ready, walk west to the ocean or catch the 102 bus from the station to Cottesloe Beach.
Cottesloe Train Station drinking-water refill point
Fill the bottle before the walk begins. This drinking-water point is beside Cottesloe train station's northern public approach, close to Forrest Street. It is a handy little convenience whether your next stop is the village, the sculptures or the sand.
Cottesloe Vet
Veterinary care on Stirling Highway, from routine vaccinations and dental care to diagnostic imaging, surgery and everyday pet supplies.
Cottesloe Village
Don't make straight for the beach when you step off the train - Cottesloe Village is worth exploring in its own right. Napoleon and Station streets form the heart of it, but wander a little farther along Jarrad Street and across Stirling Highway and you'll find more cafes, restaurants, shops, Cottesloe Central and the Grove Library. Add public art, murals and heritage buildings and there's plenty here before the ocean even enters the day.
Crockery for Cures
Vintage cups and crockery become succulent planters and decorative gifts, with profits supporting neurological research through Crockery for Cures.
Curtin Family Home
John and Elsie Curtin's modest Cottesloe home brings the life of Australia's wartime prime minister down to suburban scale. Built in 1923, the four-roomed brick bungalow was home to the Curtin family for decades and remained in the family until 1998. Its ordinary proportions are part of what makes it interesting - this was a family home first, even while international events reached right to its front door.
Daisies Cottesloe
Coffee on the grass in the shade, a quick breakfast, something sweet or a post-beach lunch at the cafe tables - Daisies is one of North Cott's best-known everyday meeting spots. What began as a corner delicatessen in the 1980s has grown into a busy cafe with plenty of outdoor space for kids, dogs and bikes, while still keeping the feel of a local corner store.
Dark Night Shine 2013
A dark piece of polished granite brings an unexpectedly quiet art stop to one of Cott's busiest corners. Japanese sculptor Takahiro Hirata's Dark Night Shine 2013 plays with weight, curved form and reflected light. Walk around it and notice how a stone that looks almost black can suddenly catch the sky. It has both a curved softness and a sharp, almost dangerous form.
DB Dental Cottesloe
General, cosmetic and restorative dental care for adults and children, based in Cottesloe Medical Centre on Stirling Highway.
De Nardi Lane mural
A little colour off the main street. Blue, green and cream leaves gather into a swirling pattern across the red brick, then drift along the laneway. Look closer for the small blue birds among them. It is a lovely reason to slow down on a wander through Cott Village.
Deane Street beach access and shower
A signed route through the dunes and a nearby outdoor shower make this a useful South Cott beach access. Join from the shared path south of Deane Street, look down over the shore and decide whether to explore the sand or keep walking.
DECJUBA Cottesloe
Women’s fashion and D-Luxe casualwear on Napoleon Street, offering an in-person browse through DECJUBA’s changing clothing collections in Cottesloe.

Dutch Inn Beach and playground
Playground, shady grass, reef and surf all come together at Dutch Inn. This little South Cott reserve sits above one of the coast's established surf breaks, with slides, climbing equipment, swings and an accessible Liberty Swing for wheelchair users. Kids can play while everyone else watches the waves, surfers and wind-sport action below.
East Cottesloe Nature Play Trail
This isn’t one playground so much as a string of discoveries beside the railway. A fenced toddler area, bike riding trail, climbing logs, sensory play, the big timber “Timbersaurus”, and a very serious high balancing challenge for older kids, are linked by a winding path through established shady trees. Opened in 2023, the trail is designed so children can keep moving, choosing the next challenge as they go.

A farewell feels particularly at home beside a train station. Iraqi-born Australian artist Ayad Alqaragholli's Farewell Kiss captures two figures in a moment of parting, bringing a very human story to this busy Cott corner. Arriving or leaving yourself, take a moment to look at the embrace and the space between the figures.
Fiddlesticks Toys
Toys, books, puzzles and craft activities for curious kids, with construction sets, dolls and outdoor play among the range.

Flight Centre Cottesloe
A local travel agency at the Stirling Highway and Napoleon Street corner, helping plan flights, holidays, tours and cruises.
Former Briggs Quarry
The quiet homes around Kiln Lane sit within a very different chapter of Cott. This was one of Briggs & Co's limestone quarries, part of an industry that supplied stone and lime for a growing Perth. Later a council depot, the site has since become a residential neighbourhood. Its industrial story is best explored through the heritage record, with any visit kept to public streets and paths.
Four Pots
Yoshio Nitta's Four Pots - combine copper, stainless steel, stone and resin, with openings deliberately designed to draw your eye towards the sky ... but in its current lush Civic Centre garden location that may be more difficult. Exhibited at the first Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe in 2005, it became the first work acquired for Cottesloe's permanent sculpture collection.
Freshwater Bay Foreshore
Freshwater Bay’s riverfront reserve has a sandy swimming beach, grassy parkland and shade trees along The Esplanade. Pause by the Swan River or combine a foreshore wander with some time on the grass.

Gazman

Gelencser House - Iwan Iwanoff
Concrete blocks become sculpture at this remarkable 1983 house by Iwan Iwanoff, one of WA's most distinctive post-war architects. Look closely and the apparently simple walls break into projecting blocks, patterned screens, deep balconies and strong horizontal bands. It's a late example of Iwanoff turning an everyday Perth building material into something unmistakably his own.
Ghanda Clothing Cottesloe
Surf-inspired casual clothing on Napoleon Street, with graphic tees, fleece jumpers and trackpants at the heart of Ghanda’s range.
Gibney
A brasserie and grill overlooking South Cottesloe, serving seafood, steak and house-made pasta with formal service and an ocean-view terrace.

Golden Section
Wait for the wind. British sculptor Ivan Black's Golden Section is a 3.7-metre-high kinetic sculpture designed to come alive when the air moves it. Its repeating geometric elements shift into new patterns as they turn, making this one Cott artwork where a breezy day can actually improve the view.
Grant Marine Park and Playground
Playground, open grass, shady pines, native dune and ocean views all fit into Grant Marine Park. Younger kids get the playground, older kids can find the basketball hoop, cricket practice area and footy goals, while a short trail through Cottesloe Coastcare's restored dune leads to a lookout. Grant Street Station is about a 10-minute walk inland, and the 102 bus stops close by on Marine Parade, making this an easy Cott outing without a car.
Grant Street beach access and showers
Turn a Grant Street wander into a beach visit at this clear coastal access. Stairs lead down from the shared path, with outdoor showers a short distance north. It is a useful place to switch between park, sculpture walk and sand.
Grant Street Train Station
Step off the train and choose your North Cott direction. Head west along Grant Street for Daisies, Grant Marine Park and the ocean, or east for Jasper Green's playground, mural and sculptures. Grant Street Station is also a handy northern bookend for a one-way Cott coastal walk - start here and finish at Cottesloe Station, or do it the other way around.

Massage appointments at Cottesloe Central, with Green Health Massage located on the ground floor near the centre’s everyday shops.

Rugby, footy and plenty of local club life fill this broad green recreation precinct between Broome and Jarrad Streets. Harvey Field is home to Cottesloe Rugby Union Football Club, the Cottesloe Roosters and Cottesloe Magpies Junior Football Club, so on a winter weekend there is a good chance of finding training, junior sport or a match underway.

Home is Where the Heart is
A kangaroo holds out a heart while looking towards a little house - Jimmy Rix doesn't make you work too hard to find the story in Home is Where the Heart is. Made from weathered Corten steel, it brings a distinctly Australian mix of humour, affection and homecoming to the edge of Cottesloe Village.
Horizon Yoga Swanbourne
Yoga overlooking the Indian Ocean at Swanbourne Surf Club, with studio classes bookable through Horizon’s timetable and app.
Humphrey Homes
Architecture, interior design and construction under one roof, with Humphrey Homes designing and building custom houses from its Cottesloe studio.
Icarus 4
George Andric's Icarus 4 twists repeated aluminium forms into a three-metre-wide sculpture beside the North Cott coast. Walk around it and the solid metal begins to compete with the gaps between it - sea, sky and planting appearing and disappearing through the structure. Its permanent home here also has a personal story: the work was anonymously donated to Cottesloe in memory of a family member.
IGA Cottesloe
Groceries and fresh food at the Eric Street shops, with a deli, ready meals, barbecue chicken, seafood and flowers.
Il Lido - former Lido Cabaret
Coffee, pasta and wine now fill a building that once hosted one of Cott's liveliest nights out. Il Lido occupies the former Lido Cabaret on the corner of Marine Parade and Forrest Street, part of a 1930s entertainment complex that also included an open-air picture garden. Today it is a busy Italian canteen and espresso bar, with the beach directly across the road.
Indiana Teahouse
If someone says “meet at Indiana”, this is the Cott landmark they mean. Perched directly above the sand, its pale walls, balconies and distinctive roofline have become part of the classic Cottesloe Beach view. Walk along the promenade out to the Cottesloe Groyne, then look back to see Indiana, the grassy terraces and Norfolk Island pines come together.
Indigo Oscar
Latin American-inspired shared plates, cocktails and wine inside the Indiana building, with views straight across Cottesloe Beach and the ocean.
Inside Spoken Things
Curving steel rises from the edge of Jasper Green in Tim Macfarlane Reid's Inside Spoken Things. Originally exhibited on Cottesloe Beach at Sculpture by the Sea in 2009, the work now has grass, trees and neighbourhood life as its backdrop. Walk around it and see how the solid forms and the spaces between them change from each side.
Intertec Consulting
Website design, web applications and timesheet software from a Cottesloe studio working with businesses and other organisations since 1998.
Iona Presentation College
A Mosman Park Catholic school with co-educational junior years and an all-girls senior school, spread across two nearby campuses.

Isolators is a named surf spot on the coastal surf map. On the reef coast south of The Cove and north of Dutch Inn.
Jamie Loh Real Estate
A family-owned Forrest Street agency handling property sales, rentals and appraisals across Cottesloe and the wider western suburbs.
Jasper Green Reserve
Playground, half basketball court, open grass, shady trees and a splash of public art make Jasper Green an easy all-ages stop east of the railway. Kids can play while adults wander over to Justin Martin’s colourful mural on the tennis wall, and dogs are welcome off-lead in the designated area.
Je T’ Adore (I adore you)
Two impossibly slender figures balance together against the Indian Ocean in Ayad Alqaragholli's Je T' Adore. One reaches high above the other while a large circular form anchors the composition, giving the sculpture the feeling of an acrobatic balancing act. Its title means “I adore you” - a fitting clue to a work that seems to be about connection, trust and holding someone close.
John Black Dune Park and Cottesloe Skatepark
Boards, scooters and BMX bikes all get a run at Cottesloe Skatepark, with a bowl, plaza, pump track and hang-out area built into John Black Dune Park. Different zones cater for beginners through to more experienced riders, so it works equally well for learning the basics, finding a new line or just sitting back and watching the action.
John Street Cafe
Breakfast or lunch under the Norfolk pines gives John Street Cafe a very different feel from the beachfront. The cafe sits in a much-loved neighbourhood building at 37 John Street, with roots stretching back to an early cottage on the site and a later house-and-shop combination. It’s an easy local stop for coffee, brunch or lunch, just a short walk from the beach. It's also a great place to retreat to on a windy day.
Just Sushi
A ground-floor sushi kiosk at Cottesloe Central, handy for picking up something to eat between the shops.
Keane’s Point Playground
A riverside playground at Keane’s Point, beside Freshwater Bay. Combine time on the play equipment with the reserve’s lawns and picnic facilities.
Keeping Mum
Joanna Rhodes' Keeping Mum is one of several art discoveries tucked around Jasper Green. Its intriguing title gives you something to think about, but doesn't explain the sculpture for you. Have a look from the lawn first, then move closer and see what the form suggests from another angle.
Kilo Cafe
A Swanbourne village stop for takeaway coffee, tea and iced drinks. Browse the cafe’s online menu or order ahead through its Square site.
Kinetic Interference (2011)
This is kinetic sculpture without anything actually moving. Spanish artist Manuel Ferreiro Badia's Kinetic Interference uses repeated stainless-steel elements to create an illusion of movement as you walk past. Try it from several angles - the overlapping lines seem to shift, separate and reconnect simply because you're the one in motion.
Kirkwood Continental Deli
A North Street corner deli combining coffee, breakfast and lunch with fresh produce, groceries and Neapolitan-style pizza in the evening.
Kulahea
Half-timbered gables, roughcast walls and little leadlight windows make Kulahea look unexpectedly English just a short walk from the Indian Ocean. Built in 1922 for Charles Frederic North, it is believed to be the only surviving private house designed by prominent WA architect George Temple Poole. Look from Forrest Street for the details that give it its distinctive Old English character.
KX Pilates Cottesloe
Trainer-led, 50-minute reformer Pilates classes on Napoleon Street, with sessions for newcomers and people already familiar with the reformer.
Ladder Park at Andrews Place
A small local park tucked into the northern residential streets, Ladder Park is handy for nearby families with younger children. There’s a simple playground, grass, shade and seating - pleasant if you’re already in the area, but not somewhere you need to detour to on a day out in Cott.
Lady Lawley Cottage
A little corner turret, limestone walls and broad verandahs give Lady Lawley Cottage its distinctive seaside character. Opened in 1903 to provide convalescent care for children, it belongs to a period when Cottesloe's fresh sea air was considered part of the treatment. More than a century of care followed within these walls.
LAHAUS
An architecture, interiors and styling studio in Napoleon Close, shaping homes and commercial spaces around the people using them.
Lamont’s Cottesloe
A Station Street wine shop and restaurant pairing seasonal tapas-style food with Australian and international bottles, tastings and wine events.
Le Fanu
Turrets, gables, rough limestone and contrasting red brick make Le Fanu one of Cott's grandest old beach houses. Originally called Banksia, it began as a simple seaside cottage for Henry and Marion Holmes in the 1890s before growing into an elaborate Queen Anne-style home. After later falling close to ruin, an extraordinary restoration brought it back to life.
Leighton Battery Heritage Site
Discover a piece of Fremantle’s wartime defences at Leighton Battery, with underground tunnels and former gun positions at Buckland Hill. The Royal Australian Artillery Historical Society of Western Australia runs guided tunnel tours; check its website before visiting.
Lewis' House
An architect building his own home gives Lewis' House an unusually personal story. Thorald Travers "Peter" Lewis designed and largely built this Mediterranean-influenced house himself, beginning before the Second World War and finishing it after returning from more than three years as a prisoner of war. Its white concrete walls and tiled roofs make it a distinctive find in a quiet Cott street.
Lighthouse
A six-metre lighthouse on Eric Street - but not one that's going to guide any ships home. WA sculptor Tony Jones' brightly painted steel Lighthouse brings the shapes and signals of the coast into an everyday Cott streetscape. In its own way, it has become a beacon for the little cluster of local shops, cafes and businesses gathered around this Eric Street corner.
Liquorice Allsorts
Bright, playful and sitting right beside North Cottesloe Primary School, Michael Grau's Liquorice Allsorts feels particularly at home here. The sculpture was chosen for this location as part of the school's 2013 centenary celebrations - and local families have embraced an affectionate interpretation of the title: the wonderfully different bunch of kids who pass it every day are North Cott's own “Allsorts”.
Little Sup
A small Eric Street café near North Cottesloe Beach, for a coffee before or after time by the water.
Longview
A beachfront restaurant and coffee kiosk on Marine Parade, with a deck looking out across the Indian Ocean towards Rottnest.
Lucky Country
A gleaming sphere chained to an oversized shackle makes Norton Flavel's Lucky Country hard to walk past without a second look. Its mirror-polished surface reflects you, the street, trees and sky, while the heavy chain holds all that brightness firmly in place. The title sounds optimistic - but the sculpture deliberately makes Australia's story less straightforward.
Lush Design Jewellery
Ocean-inspired jewellery on Napoleon Street, with pearl necklaces, earrings, rings and bracelets drawing on the label’s Broome connections.
Macaulay House (Donard Lodge)
High above Forrest Street, Donard Lodge has the presence of a house designed to be noticed. Built around 1898 for Dr Samuel Macaulay, its red tuck-pointed brick, two-storey wrap-around verandah, detailed timberwork and elevated position make it one of Cott's grand early residences. It wasn't just a family home either - Dr Macaulay saw patients here in his own purpose-built surgery.
MAEK Residences
A Peppermint Grove design-and-build studio bringing architecture, interiors and construction together for individual homes and small residential developments.
Maggie Lowe Hair
A hair salon on Cottesloe Central’s ground floor, for a cut or styling appointment alongside your usual shopping trip.
Magic Apple Wholefoods
Wholefood breakfasts, bowls, smoothies and coffee overlooking the coast, with takeaway meals and a grab-and-go fridge on Marine Parade.
Main Beach public toilets, showers and change rooms
A useful beach-day reset beneath Indiana: public toilets, showers and changing facilities are together by the promenade. Rinse off, change out of sandy swimmers and carry on with the day. This is the facilities stop below the landmark building.
Meeting 1 (2009)
Five bright red men crouch in a loose circle beneath the Norfolk Island pines, as if caught in a conversation we can't hear. Chinese artist Wang Shugang's Meeting 1 turns this quiet South Cott verge into an unexpected gathering place. Look at one figure up close, then step back and see how differently they read as a group.
Merchants of Swanbourne
A Swanbourne Village shop filled with homewares, kitchen pieces, gifts, clothing and practical things for picnics and the beach.
Methodist Ladies’ College (MLC)
A riverside Claremont school with girls’ primary and secondary education, boarding, and an early learning centre welcoming girls and boys.
Momentum Skateshop
A skater-owned shop inside Cottesloe Surf, with boards, longboards, shoes and clothing for beginners, regular riders and everyday wear.
Mosman Park Train Station
Here's a little Cott history puzzle: Mosman Park Station was once called Cottesloe Beach Station. Regular passenger services began here in 1894, long before today's suburb of Mosman Park had its current name. Now it's a handy southern starting point for exploring both sides of the Cottesloe-Mosman Park boundary, grabbing something to eat around Glyde Street to the east or walking west towards Dutch Inn Beach and playground.
Mosman surf break
Mosman surf break is a named surf spot on the coastal surf map. Off the southern Cottesloe coast, near the Mosman Park / Leighton stretch.
Motion Lifestyle
Women’s activewear, casual clothing and footwear from Australian and international labels, in a small boutique on Napoleon Street.
Mudurup Rocks
Mudurup is much more than the limestone headland at the southern end of Cottesloe Beach. Meaning “place of the yellow-finned whiting”, it is a significant Whadjuk Noongar ceremonial, spiritual and fishing place - considered one of the most important cultural coastal sites on the Swan Coastal Plain. Follow the paths around the sundial for views across the Cove, but give the stories beneath your feet some time too.
Mural at Jasper Green
Wardung, yonga, weitj, fish, banksias and grass trees spread across the tennis wall at Jasper Green. Whadjuk artist Justin Martin of Djurandi Dreaming created this colourful mural with ideas developed through workshops with Year 5 students from nearby North Cottesloe Primary School. Stand back for the whole story, then move closer to find the smaller details woven through it.
Neehow Massage Mosman Park
A Mosman Park massage clinic offering remedial, deep-tissue, Swedish and other treatments tailored to each person’s needs and comfort.
Norfolk Pines mural
A forest hiding in plain sight. Tall trunks and fine, feathery branches stretch across this enormous wall, turning a passing glance into a reason to stop. Soft greens against charcoal give the painted pines a lovely sense of depth. Look up for the birds tucked between the treetops.
North Cottesloe Beach
North Cott has a beach-day rhythm of its own - swimmers, surf lifesaving board paddlers, Sunday Nippers and plenty of local life around the surf club and Eric Street. Come for a swim, find some sand or grab a coffee and watch the ocean. Nearby grass gives you somewhere to spread out away from the beach, while the coastal path makes this a great starting point for a walk or ride in either direction.
North Cottesloe drinking-water refill point
Top up the bottle before carrying on along the coast. This drinking-water point sits by the North Cott path, just north of the surf-club buildings. Keep it in mind for a walk between the main beach and Grant Street.
North Cottesloe Primary School
A local public primary school on Eric Street, educating children from Kindergarten to Year 6 in North Cottesloe.
North Cottesloe public toilets and showers
A useful end-of-swim stop at North Cott, with public toilets and showers underneath the cafe opposite Eric Street. Come around to the beach side and follow the signs. Rinse off, get comfortable and carry on with your coastal day.
North Cottesloe Surf Life Saving Club
From a tent on the beach to one of WA's largest surf lifesaving clubs, North Cott has come a long way since 1918. Volunteer patrols, Sunday Nippers, surf lifesaving board paddlers and surf sport give this stretch of coast much of its community rhythm. The modern clubhouse sits right on the beachfront, with Longview upstairs and the ocean at the door.
North Street Store
A North Street corner store for fresh bread, cinnamon scrolls, coffee, filled rolls and hot food to take home.
O2 Active Swanbourne Movement Studio
Small-group yoga, mat Pilates and strength classes near Swanbourne Village, alongside one-to-one exercise physiology consultations and personalised movement programmes.
Ocean Beach Hotel
“The OBH” has been a North Cott landmark since 1908, sitting at the coastal end of Eric Street with the ocean right across the road. Today it is still a busy pub, restaurant and hotel, with Cblu, several bars, accommodation and regular events making it as much a social stop as a local reference point.
Ocean Spice Cafe
Thai curries, stir-fries and noodles on Eric Street, with online ordering for takeaway or delivery from the Cottesloe kitchen.
OPSM Cottesloe
An optometry practice on Napoleon Street for eye appointments, prescription glasses and contact lenses while you are in the village.

A small Napoleon Close architecture studio designing individual homes, with an emphasis on the site, passive solar design and everyday living.
Pause
Walk past April Pine's surfer and watch a solid figure almost disappear. Pause is built from layers of gridded aluminium, capturing a surfer standing quietly with a board rather than riding a wave. From one angle the figure is strong and complete; take a few steps and ocean, sky and planting begin showing straight through.
Pearse Street-area beach shower
A quick rinse makes the walk home a little less sandy. Find this outdoor shower along the coastal path north of Pearse Street. It is a useful small stop between the Cove and the reef-coast beaches farther south.
Pep’s Wine Bar
A neighbourhood wine bar on Stirling Highway in Peppermint Grove, welcoming walk-ins for a glass and a catch-up.

A family-run Napoleon Street jeweller offering ready-to-wear pieces, engagement rings, bespoke designs and an on-site workshop for repairs and remodelling.

Perth Studio Potters - Burt Street premises
Behind this small Burt Street house is one of WA’s long-running pottery communities. Perth Studio Potters bought the property in 1963 and gradually turned it into a working studio, gallery and kiln space. The best time to visit is during a Burt Street Gallery exhibition, when members’ ceramics are on show and for sale.
Peters Pool
Peters Pool is one of those Cott names that makes more sense once you're standing there. Reef to the north, south and west creates a naturally sheltered pocket of water between the main Cott Beach and North Cott, making it a popular place for swimming and, when the sea is calm and clear, snorkelling. No concrete walls or painted lanes - the reef does the work.

Relationship: Together Series
Two sweeping steel forms lean, cross and seem to hold one another in Ron Gomboc's Relationship: Together Series.

Its position beside Grant Marine Park gives you plenty of room to walk around it and let the relationship change with your viewpoint.

Samson’s Paddock
Seasonal share plates, wine and whisky on Glyde Street, with steak-and-whisky pairings for a different sort of tasting.
Sandbar
Steel with a sense of movement. James Rogers’ Sandbar folds broad, rust-coloured ribbons around open space. Walk a little way around it and the shapes shift against the sky and coast.

Sea Anemone
Low, bright and spreading six metres across the grass, Rebecca Rose's Sea Anemone looks as though a piece of the reef has grown to playground scale. Its repeating red-orange steel forms open and close as you move around them. Created with children in mind, this is sculpture designed to make the marine world feel playful, curious and close.
Sea View Golf Club
Golf with the Indian Ocean in view - and often a strong sea breeze influencing the next shot. Sea View is Cott's coastal links course, with nine holes played as an 18-hole round using different tees and flags. Visitors are welcome at designated times, so you don't need to be a member to book a round and experience one of Cottesloe's most distinctive sporting landscapes.

A community kindergarten in Cottesloe offering play-based learning for four-year-olds, with gardens, nature play and Department of Education teachers.

Small-group strength and conditioning on Jarrad Street, with coached sessions combining weights, cardio equipment and fitness work at different intensities.
She Sells Sea Shells
A tongue-twister becomes sculpture in Anne Neil's She Sells Sea Shells. Repeating metal elements sweep around to create a large shell-like form, with the gaps between them framing little slices of coast, sky and vegetation. Walk around it rather than settling for one view - the solid shell seems to open and close as the elements line up.
Shellabears
A longstanding Cottesloe real estate agency handling residential and commercial sales, leasing and property management across Perth’s western suburbs.

St Hilda’s Anglican School for Girls
An Anglican girls’ day and boarding school in Mosman Park, with separate junior and senior campuses and outdoor education programs.
St Luke's Anglican Church Group
Local limestone, pointed Gothic windows and more than a century of additions make St Luke's worth looking at as a group rather than just a church. Built in stages from 1897, the church, rectory and hall include work by two important WA architects, J. W. Wright and J. J. Talbot Hobbs. You'll find them just south of Cott in Mosman Park, close to the train station.
St Philip's Anglican Church
Butterfly roofs, oddly shaped windows and a concrete canopy make St Philip's look unlike any other church in the area. Austrian-born WA architect Julius Elischer designed the painted-brick church in 1964-65, creating a building around contemporary worship rather than traditional church forms. Even the walls, roof and rainwater outlets become pieces of sculpture.
Studio2 Cottesloe

A Devon Road veterinary practice caring for local pets, with health checks, vaccinations, dental care and puppy training among its services.
Swanbourne Village
A compact shopping strip beside Swanbourne Station, bringing groceries, cafés, food shops and everyday errands together on Claremont Crescent.
The Cove
Around Mudurup, the broad main beach gives way to limestone reef, a smaller bay and one of Cott's established surf breaks. The Cove is a good place to watch waves peel across the reef, look back towards the groyne or simply enjoy a more rugged stretch of coast. A swim doesn't have to be part of the plan.
The Cove beach access and shower
A little practical stop for the Cove: find the path down, take a look at the water and rinse off after a beach visit. The outdoor shower sits above the bay, close to the coastal route around Mudurup and the main-beach headland.
The Foot Clinic Cottesloe
Podiatry at Cottesloe Central for foot pain, sports injuries and skin or nail concerns, with assessment and treatment for all ages.

A solitary figure and an oversized doorway turn an ordinary Station Street corner into something a little more dreamlike.

Tribanga III
The unusual stance is the clue to Clara Hali's Tribanga III. “Tribhanga” is a pose found in Indian art and classical dance in which the body bends at three points, creating a flowing, S-shaped posture. Hali turns that sense of movement into an elongated sculptural figure standing among the shops and everyday bustle of Cottesloe Village.
Tsunami
Japanese dining on Glyde Street, with an izakaya menu, teppanyaki cooking and a vine-covered garden lit by fairy lights.
Tukurua
Broad timber verandahs wrap around Tukurua, one of the grand seaside houses that appeared as wealthy Perth families discovered Cott as a summer escape. Built in 1896 for Septimus Burt, WA's first Attorney General under responsible government, it began as a single-storey limestone retreat before J. Talbot Hobbs helped transform it into the imposing two-storey landmark you see today.
Tunbridge Gallery
Aboriginal art in Napoleon Close, with work by established and emerging artists sourced through relationships with community-owned art centres.
Untitled
From French rugby captain to sculptor - Jean-Pierre Rives took an unusual path to making art. His Untitled twists heavy steel into a form that seems much lighter than its material should allow, with sea and sky appearing through the spaces between. With no title telling you what it represents, you're free to start with whatever you see.
UpTown
A Napoleon Street café for coffee, breakfast and lunch, with street-side seating in the heart of Cottesloe Village.
Vans Cafe
All-day breakfast, seasonal bistro dishes and takeaway coffee on Napoleon Street, with lunch and dinner adding to the café’s daily rhythm.
Vera View Dog Beach
Tucked at the northern end of Cott, Vera View is a small, reefy beach where dogs get their own stretch of coast and locals sometimes slip in for a dip beside the reef. Stairs lead down opposite Vera View Parade, with a freshwater shower waiting at the top afterwards. Come for an off-lead run, a coastal pause or simply the view - but check the seasonal dog times before heading down.
Victoria Street Train Station
Victoria Street Station is the southernmost train stop within Cottesloe and a handy gateway to the quieter end of the coast. From here it's about a five-minute walk to the Vlamingh reserve, Nature Discovery Space, former Cable Station and southern foreshore. Start here for a coastal wander, or use it for the train ride home after exploring farther north.
Vinotto
A small Swanbourne wine bar pairing a changing wine selection with seasonal European-leaning snacks on the Claremont Crescent shopping strip.
Vlamingh Memorial
Part monument, part lookout and part hidden wartime site, the Vlamingh Memorial has more beneath it than first appears. Its striking concrete forms commemorate the Dutch expedition that landed somewhere around this coast in 1697, while the mound below conceals Second World War remains. Pause here for the history, then look out across the same stretch of coast that connects the stories.
WA School for Deaf Children (former)
Long verandahs, red brick and pale rendered bands give this former school an impressive presence beside Curtin Avenue. Opened in 1900, it was home as well as school to generations of Deaf children from across WA. Its importance goes beyond the architecture - this was a place where friendships, shared language and a wider Deaf community grew.
Wanslea
Broad verandahs, red brick and pale detailing give Wanslea an imposing presence above Railway Street. Opened as an Odd Fellows' orphanage in 1905-06, the site has spent more than a century connected with children, families, returned servicemen and community care - a role that continues today with a pre-primary school and Solaris Cancer Care.
Wearne Hostel - historic buildings at The Heritage Collective
One of Cott's oldest care buildings has become somewhere you can visit rather than simply admire from the street. Opened in 1897 as the Ministering Children's League Convalescent Home, the limestone and sandstone complex later became Wearne Hostel. Today its restored heritage buildings and gardens form the heart of The Heritage Collective, with exhibitions, events and community activities bringing them back into public life.
Willie Creek Pearls Cottesloe
Australian South Sea pearl jewellery in a historic corner showroom where Napoleon Street meets Stirling Highway.

Woolworths Cottesloe
A ground-floor supermarket at Cottesloe Central for groceries, household basics and food supplies while running errands around the centre.
Wuyi
Thirteen tonnes of concrete form a huge, rough-edged arch at Cott's southern entrance. American sculptor Peter Lundberg's Wuyi looks almost geological - less like something neatly manufactured than a piece of ground lifted upright. Walk around it and use the opening as a frame for changing pieces of sky, vegetation and coast.
Zeus Street Greek Swanbourne
Greek street food in Swanbourne village, with pita wraps, bowls, salads and sides. The official store page offers pickup, delivery and catering options.
