Best Beaches in Sydney, Australia
Sydney Australia is famous for its beautiful beaches, so I decided to go find the best beaches that this city has to offer...
Here is my list of the Best Beaches in Sydney Australia:
BRONTE BEACH
My list begins on the southside of Sydney’s incredible coastal walk with a family-friendly place called Bronte Beach. Natural and man-made pools protect you from the dangerous rip known as the Bronte Express.
COOGEE BEACH
Over Dolphin’s Point, There’s Coogee Beach, which is much larger than Bronte and also safer for swimming.
Both Bronte and Coogee are located in really cool neighborhoods with some great places to eat and drink down by the water.
CLOVELLY BEACH
In between Coogee and Bronte is the concrete and rocky waterfront of Clovelly Beach - its the perfect place to go if you don’t want any sand in your bikini.
GORDONS BAY
Across Bundock Park is Gordons Bay, which doesn’t have the best beach, but the water is calm and clear so its a really nice spot for snorkeling.
PARSLEY BAY
I absolutely love the smaller bay beaches towards the top end of the Peninsula, and my personal favorite of all these is a cool little hidden gem called Parsley Bay. It is tucked away within a quiet neighborhood and the shark nets make me feel better about swimming.
KUTTIE BEACH
Kuttie is another small, quiet spot within a residential area.
WATSONS BAY
When you're at Watson's Bay, stop by Doyle's for lunch on the water. A completely different vibe here than over between Bondi and Bronte Beach.
MILK BEACH
For amazing views of Sydney Harbor, follow the path to the small and quiet Milk Beach.
TAMARAMA BEACH
Back over on the beautiful coastline, the quiet and secluded Tamarama Beach is great place to get away from the crowds of neighboring Coogee and Bondi.
Its usually occupied by a laid-back, local crowd with a heavy focus on the top-notch surf break.
BONDI BEACH
Just around the rocky cliffs, you’ll find one of the most well known beaches in the world… From the iconic Icebergs pool which overlooks the beach, to the abundance of beautiful sunbathers, Bondi is famous for a reason.
Popular with international backpackers and tourists, its a place to see and be seen. Especially considering its bikini top optional.
Don’t get too distracted though, because There’s tons of beach activities going on, and the waves are a bit more manageable than at other beaches, so its a good place to take your first surf lesson or just go for a swim.
If you’re in town for awhile, stay at the Hotel Ravesis right at the beach and check out some of the chill bars and delicious restaurants around the neighborhood.
MANLY BEACH
If you take the ferry north from Sydney Harbor, you’ll come to Manly Beach - the gateway to the most beautiful stretch of sand in Sydney.
Manly itself is the most lively of all the northern beaches, with surf competitions and weekend events, its a very popular place in the summertime.
But If you’re looking to break away from the crowds, keep heading north and you’ll find a lot more space in the sand at places like Collaroy beach, Avalon beach, and way up at the top, is Palm Beach.
PALM BEACH
Palm Beach is Sydney's most northerly stretch of sand, and It sits on a peninsula at the end of Barrenjoey Road, between Pittwater and Broken Bay. Palm Beach is sometimes referred to as 'Palmy' and its a great spot for surfing and sunbathing. Make sure you walk up to Barrenjoey Lighthouse for an amazing view!
And If you’ve made it this far, you’ve officially explored some of the best beaches in Sydney!
