Not easy to park, but there are public buses. Small beach nestled into a cove. Rocks are fun to explore. Nice grassy park next to beach. More

One of the most dangerous beaches in NSW to swim due to it's narrow headlands and rips, if you don't swim between the flags and you're an average swimmer then you're toying with your life. Now, that said, this is a great place to spend lunch (great cafe right on the beach - rare in Sydney) or the whole day,... More

I spent many years at Tamarama beach but these days it is impossible to park a car and is overpacked with people. However on a good day it is very pleasant. More

If you are mindful of the rip that is often present at the south end of the beach, this sheltered beach is a fantastic hideaway from all the backpackers at Bondi. More

Bronte Beach is a suggestion of a gentle life. The park and rock pool are a wonderful find for children and day trippers alike: a shady tree, a glass of wine and thee...

if you don't have pecs, a passion for strutting your stuff or pretending to hurl a volleyball about give it a miss and wander around to the delightful bronte... it's a bloody inlet for heavens sake! More
