One of Australia’s most picturesque cities, Perth lies along the Indian Ocean and is centred around the Swan River. Despite being the fourth-largest city in the nation with a population of 1.6 million, Perth is much more relaxed than Sydney or Melbourne. Perth is renowned for its love of fine coffee, and it is home to hundreds of coffee shops that honour the craft of creating mouthwatering creations from coffee beans. Like Kings Street, London Court, and Northbridge, the city has several fantastic markets and shopping districts. It’s also the ideal location to visit several neighbouring beaches because of its wonderful temperature.
Cottesloe Beach
From Perth, it is possible to get to “Cott,” as it is popularly called. Drive 15 minutes from the city, board a regular Transperth bus, or board a train on the Fremantle line and enjoy a leisurely 600-meter stroll to the beach from Cottesloe station. The popularity of Cottesloe Beach among tourists is well-founded. With a sizable grassy area with tiers for seating, it’s ideal for swimming, snorkelling, and surfing. It also makes for an excellent place to unwind with friends. With lots of covers and open grass to the north and south of the Indiana structure on the central stretch of the beach, picnics at Cottesloe Beach are simple. Change rooms, showers, accessible restrooms, and water fountains are available in Cottesloe. A sizable children’s playground and stationary exercise equipment are located north of the Indiana structure.
Kings Park and Botanic Garden

The State War Memorial, a cafe, a souvenir store, Fraser’s restaurant, and the Kings Park Visitor Centre are located at the end of it. It’s a nice place to have a picnic or let the kids run about unsupervised on one of the playgrounds. Year-round, hikers and joggers enjoy the area’s many trails, and the steep stairs leading up from the river are rewarded with breathtaking views at the summit.
