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.

Use the public coastal path beside North Cottesloe Surf Life Saving Club, north of Eric Street, then follow the beach access towards the sand.

North Cottesloe Surf Life Saving Club has been part of this beach since 1918. Its earlier clubhouse was a converted 1936 house across Marine Parade, while today's much larger beachside clubhouse opened in 2013. The building combines the working surf club with hospitality spaces, including Longview, so this stretch can be busy from early-morning training through to sunset drinks.

Eric Street adds another layer, with the Ocean Beach Hotel, cafes, food and local shops extending inland from the coast. Public toilets and showers are beneath The Magic Apple near the beach, and Transperth Route 102 stops nearby, making North Cott easy to reach without a car.

For a swim, check the current patrol flags and conditions. If you're walking, head south past Centrefold towards Cottesloe's main beach, or north along the coastal path towards Grant Marine Park and its sculptures. On a bike, the shared paths along Eric Street and Marine Parade make North Cott easy to connect with the railway, village and the rest of the coast - just keep an eye out for walkers and slower path users.

Keep going north to Grant Street and you can walk or ride inland to Grant Street Station for an easy one-way Cott outing.
