6th – 23rd March, 2020
Sculpture By The Sea Cottesloe, occurs each year in Perth in March. If you haven’t yet been to one, you must check it out. The artwork is amazing, and it’s a fantastic experience working your way through the art work as you walk along the picturesque foreshore and beach.
The artwork extends right out to the end of the groin so you can enjoy the art work while looking back on the beautiful Indiana Tea House and Cottesloe Beach. Allow at least an hour to walk along the foreshore and beach to see all the art work pieces. If it’s a nice warm day make sure you take your bathers it’s a beautiful beach for a swim with the family. You could also grab some dinner from one of the many cafes & restaurants along the strip or bring a picnic and enjoy dinner on the grassed area and watch the sun go down.
