Every year Cottesloe hosts the Sculpture by the Sea exhibition, which means at this time of year if you go down to Cottesloe Beach you'll be sharing the sand with many wonderful and odd sculptures/installations (as well as a ton more people than usual!) We sensible parked at Swanbourne and enjoyed a lovely relaxed walk along the sand, watching the kite surfers, into Cottesloe.
The sculptures are simply dotted about the beach and grass areas under the tall pines and people carry on their business, picnicking, sunbathing, building sandcastles, as if it's quite normal to have 10 pedestal fans right next to you. We didn't check out all the sculptures but it's on for a while so i'm sure we'll head back before it finishes.
