Christmas 2024: WA families celebrate chilly Christmas morning at Cottesloe Beach
Despite the chilly conditions dozens of families flocked to Cottesloe Beach this morning for a festive dip and a celebratory tipple.
WA’s iconic coastline was decked in red and green with a few Christmas jumpers thrown over swimmers as temperatures barely broke 20C.
Some beachgoers were brave enough to take the nippy sea plunge while others were a little more reluctant — either way a collective craving for Christmas lunch was felt all-round.
