The exhibition is featured from the sea wall all the way along the sand towards North Cottesloe and on the surrounding grassed areas creating a beautiful sculpture park. Access to Cottesloe Beach can be made from the ramps or stairs at different locations along Marine Parade.

A free shuttle bus service, ‘Cott Cat’, will be running between Cottesloe train station and Cottesloe beachfront. The shuttle will meet every train from Cottesloe train station on the Perth to Fremantle line between 10.30am to 6.00pm daily for the duration of the exhibition, and will return to the station from Cottesloe beachfront at 15 minute intervals. Parking at the beach is hard to find on busy weekends so we suggest parking your car at the Cottesloe Station and catch the Cott Cat to and from the beach. This year the Cott Cat will also stop on Jarrad Street for those visiting the Sculpture Inside exhibition in the clubhouse at Sea View Golf Club.
