I had the opportunity to take a short ride from Perth via train to Cottesloe Beach and watch the sunset. The best train stop is the Grant Street Exit.

Gorgeous beach to walk along, amazing views into the distance. A great vibe with so many people walking, running, swimming, surfing, eating. Perfect for families. Many places for great coffee & food.
