Coogee Beach
My home Coogee has has quite a long history (for a Sydney suburb). The original track which brought people to the Coogee Beach area back in 1832 would have followed the basic route now taken by Anzac Parade & Alison Road. Still today, the feeling you get when you are in Coogee is that of a seaside village. It is a great place to swim, eat, walk & picnic. You can explore the beautiful coastal walks - both north & south of the beach, the parklands with outdoor barbeque and picnic facilities, the children's play areas, the 3 swimming pools, or just relax on one of the finest sand beaches in Sydney.
The water is usually sparkling clean, except for the odd day when seaweed is washed up onto the beach. The beach is usually quite "flat" by Sydney standards, but there are days when it can be rough so it's wise to stay within the flags - at least on those days.
The northern point of Coogee is now named "Dolphins Point" and is the site of a memorial to the 20 local residents (including members of the Coogee Dolphins Rugby League Club) and other Australians who perished in the tragic terrorist bombing in Bali in October 2002.
Enjoy a meal or a drink day or night at one of the many cafes, restaurants and pubs including the Coogee Bay Hotel, the Crowne Plaza Coogee Beach and the Coogee Palace bars.
