Bondi to Coogee Walk

A cliff top coastal walk, the Bondi to Coogee walk extends for six km in Sydney’s eastern suburbs. The walk features stunning views, beaches, parks, cliffs, bays and rock pools. The beaches and parks offer a place to rest, swim or a chance to eat at one of the cafes, hotels, restaurants or takeaways. All beaches offer picnic shelters, electric barbecues, play areas, kiosks, toilets and change-rooms. The walk is not difficult, there are medium gradient paths and several staircases with occasional seating. It takes about two hours to complete the Bondi to Coogee Beach section of the walk and another hour and a half if you choose to continue to Maroubra.

Taking in panoramic views of the coast from Bondi Beach south to Coogee this paved coastal walk is a spectacular way to spend a day out in Sydney. Stop along the way for a swim at different beaches and coves and see a hidden part of the Emerald City. After leaving Bondi beach the walk takes you past Aboriginal rock carvings that marked the boundaries and rights of different Aboriginal clans living in the area. Stop in at Tamarama Beach for a coffee or a quick game of volleyball before continuing on to Bronte Beach and Bronte Baths. From there the path takes you through Waverley Cemetery where you will find the burial plots, crypts and gravestones of some of Sydney's most notorious and colourful identities. The walk continues over the headland where you can stop for a bit of whale-spotting before wending its way through remnant coastal heathland to arrive at Lady McKenzie's baths, Clovelly and the more built-up beach suburb of Coogee. Once at your destination check out the McIver's Women's Baths or take your pick of the fabulous local cafes and restaurants for a well-deserved drink or casual lunch. If you are doing a round trip, you should allow 2.5 to 3 hours but if you only want to go one way, Coogee is well-serviced by buses back to Sydney or Bondi. Sadly the walk is not accessible the whole way, but wheelchairs and prams can do the Bondi to Bronte segment easily.

OceanFit

There's really no better all-round fitness activity than swimming. But 50 metres back and forth, back and forth in a pool staring at a black line isn't exactly for everyone. Swim as nature intended and learn a great new sport while you're at it. You'll be guided by a friendly instructor and learn the core techniques and tips to make the most of your ocean-swimming experience. Australia's a great big island surrounded by amazing places to swim, so let the experts show you how to dive in.

The whole experience was fantastic; easy to book, good communication leading up to the day was just right. The theory aspect was educational and going into the ocean to cement that learning was fun and although, a little scary for those of with fears, the instructors were great and gave you confidence that all would be ok! The tips were great and they encouraged you to keep going and stay in touch if you wanted more info. Great team.

Sam Fiszman Park

Reviewed By michaelbG5998RH - Sydney, Australia

The Sam Fiszman Park is located at the end of Ramsgate Avenue at Ben Buckler Point - its a favourite part of my morning walk when I'm in the area. If you follow the road back towards Bondi you can also take a detour through the small boat harbour, have a look at the Aboriginal rock engravings and then make you way over the rocks towards the kids' pool which will get you to the start of the Northern end of the Boardwalk - advisable at low tide only!

Black Sunday monument

Reviewed By 750dimitrisl - Sydney, Australia

This moving monument is a small but significant reminder of the brutal force of Nature. It commemorates the day on 6 February, 1938 when three huge waves suddenly rose without warning and swept into the sea several hundred swimmers. The lifesavers on duty quickly went into action and managed to save at least a hundred who were fighting for survival. Amazingly only five people lost their lives. The day came to be known as Black Sunday. The monument is only tiny and is easily missed by most walkers, unless you pay closer attention while going by. Worth looking for it if you are in the area, walking along this beautiful walkway.

Bondi Markets

Reviewed By rarri22 - Long Beach, United States

I would go grab a flat white and explore all the cool vendors with unique crafts and amazing food vendors. I really liked how the little market kind of just went on and on and on. Each vendor had their very own unique craft, jewelry, custom leather bags. It’s a great thing to do on a lazy Sunday morning

We love coming here, for all our shopping needs, it is very close to public transport, which is a plus, has a light and airy feel, we love the AC on hot days, many, many (good) shops to explore, definitely worth a visit and a return, which for us is the highest accolade we can give.
