Sculptures by the Sea, Leighton to Cottesloe & back - SSSSSS (7km)

In March the 21st anniversary of Sculptures by the Sea starts and we will incorporate this event into our Summer Sunday Sunset Series.
Starting at Leighton Beach we will walk to Cottesloe and appreciate the amazing sculptures. Take your shoes off and walk along the shoreline for the first & last 2.4km of beach, the rest is paving. We will arrive at the sculptures as the sun sets (6:43pm) Walking back to Leighton Beach we could have a nice dip in the ocean if the night is warm and a picnic.

What to bring: BYO picnic, cold drinks, a thermos of hot coffee, a chair/picnic rug, mosquito repellent and a jumper. Take thongs to wear for the short bit of paving. There are BBQs nearby. There is a pizza place close by if you're too lazy to bother. Take your bathers & towel if you want to go for a swim, change rooms are nearby.
Where to find us: We will be leaving promptly at 5:45pm from the MeetUp point near the large circular oval. Click on the map’s pin drop for the exact starting point.
Parking: There are two decent car parking areas a very short walk from the starting point.
Distance: Approx. 7+km
Difficulty: Mainly sand and some bitumen paths. Expect an easy walk but at a reasonable pace (5 to 6 km/h). We should complete the walking component in an hour and 30 minutes.
Toilets & change room: Toilets at Cottesloe and at the start/end. Change rooms near the picnic spot.
