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.

Find the OBH at Eric Street and Marine Parade, opposite the North Cottesloe foreshore. Approach from the public footpath at the corner.

The Ocean Beach Hotel opened in January 1908 and quickly became part of Cottesloe’s growing beach culture. During the Second World War it was even used by the US Navy as a recreational leave base. The buildings have changed substantially over time, but the OBH name and this corner of Marine Parade and Eric Street have remained part of North Cott life for more than a century.

Today the hotel includes Cblu restaurant, the Saloon Bar, Public Bar, accommodation, functions and a bottle shop, with regular food, drink and entertainment events. It is an easy place to meet before a beach walk, stop for a meal or drink, or use as the starting point for a wander along the coast.

The North Cottesloe Surf Life Saving Club and beach are close by, while public art including Centrefold can be found along the coast. Major redevelopment plans have been proposed for the OBH site over recent years, so it is worth checking the OBH website before arriving.
