Beaches and Waterfronts
Sydney’s coastline features a unique combination of world-famous surf breaks, sheltered harbor coves, and historic ocean pools. This collection spans from the iconic sands of Bondi and Coogee to secluded harbor spots like Milk Beach. It highlights the city's heritage-listed tidal baths, such as Wylie's and Bronte, and the dramatic cliffside architecture of the Bondi Icebergs. Many locations are connected by the Eastern Suburbs Coastal Walk, offering access to snorkeling at Clovelly and calm, netted swimming at Shark Beach.
