 Great place for a walk by iandsmith
The walk around is often busy and there's a restaurant halfway (closed when the seas are big) and a restaurant at the little bay as well.
The bay is good for diving with abundant fish life present and, when the surf is up, Fairy Bower is a noted big wave spot.
There are lovely views from the headland and you can continue your walk all the way around North Head if you choose for some of the unrivalled views of Sydney Harbour. Leave a Comment

 Just a bit of polish
there... by iandsmith
Held towards the end of the year, invitees can display their work and sell it off afterwards. This way you get to see fresh stuff every year and the artisitically inclined get to make some money. Well, some of them do.
Of course, one of the great things about this type of art is - it's free! Leave a Comment

 Bondi Beach during the week by amyhenderson
However, just a warning not to expect a little paradise of a beach. Bondi is very developed and built up and has apartments, restaurants, bars & clubs built all around it. Its a constant people parade with flexing muscles and improving tans.
If you're not into that scene (or just a bit scared of the harsh Australian sun) I would recommend going there for an early evening meal, a walk along the promenade & if you behaved, an ice-cream.
If/when you are beaching it at Bondi, make sure you try both North & South ends of
the beach. They seem to have sub-cultures at each end. South is more travellers,
low profile locals & surfers. North is more posers, muscle guys & young
families.
There are plenty of good ones in this area! A favourite is DEFINITELY 'Blue Orange' on Hall Street, Bondi. Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner ALL scrumptious. Leave a Comment

Manly has a small pedestrian mall called the Corso with a couple of shops and dining options.
The most scenic way to get there is by ferry, which takes about 30 minutes from Circular Quay. Leave a Comment

We visited Manly by ferry and the trip took about 1/2 an hour from Circular Quay. From the docks we had a pleasant stroll through an area called The Corso. Wide open streets filled with shops and restaurants. I's a mall actually so there is no traffic, just plenty of room to wander around. It was very clean and nicely landscaped. We ate at an excellent pub where we took a table out on an upper balcony. The meal - steak, salad and chips for about $10 was worth every cent. I enjoyed this area, a nice open and refreshing change from the bustle of the city. Leave a Comment Address: Manly

 Coogee Beach, NSW by AmazingAdventures
Buy some souvenirs, enjoy walking along the beach, soak up some sun, enjoy some live music, take a coastal walk, overall it's a great escape for the day!
The Bondi Explorer sightseeing bus makes regular stops here throughout the day, and you can also easily reach Cooggee by car or regular bus.
Bring your sunscreen and some extra drinking water.
Not as crowded as nearby Bondi, and in my opinion offers far more. Leave a Comment

Manly owns some great beaches less crowded than Bondi & Co. It is a idyllic place for a full day trip excursion.
There you could enjoy great activies as:
***Short or long coast walks . For instance, the Manly - Spit Scenic Walkway of about 10 kilometers, do not forget your swimmers.
***Beaches: surf, swin or sleep. Manly cove has calm waters for swimming, idem for Shelly Beach which is very sheltered. Or catch a wave on Manly Beach...
***The Corso: a shopping heaven and cafés/restaurants strip.
***Oceanworld display Australia's coral and marine life.
***More? Take a break you seem to be exhausted ;-) Leave a Comment

Bondi is one of the world famous beach. Very popular spot as you can see on my picture (taken on a sunny Winter day...). There you could take opportunity to try your favourite beach activity as surfing, swimming (a sea swimming pool is available), walking along the coasts, enjoying the beachside lifestyle in the bars and restaurants around Campbell parade.
Bondi is the home to one of the oldest Surf Life Saving Club (founded in 1907). Swim safe between the red and yellow flags. The flags idicate that lifesavers are on duty. They can give you tips on the current conditions, types of waves to avoid and how to bodysurf...
But I just tried surfing once in Australia on sand downhill a dune ! To say the truth I prefer to have snow than sand in my pants in case of fall ;-) Definitively I prefer to surf on a snowy wave on my Alps. Leave a Comment

 Looking north onto Whale
Beach, NSW by AmazingAdventures
This beach is off the beaten track, and mostly just locals go here. Not easily accessible by bus, unless you want to walk about 45 minutes.
GREAT beach for swimming, body surfing, regular surfing, walking along the water's edge, sunbathing, swimming in the rock pool on the south end, building sand castles, or hang out with friends or family. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, but with a little patience, you will find a spot.
Several nice places to eat here, as well as the standard fish-n-chips fare.
Several years ago Bryan Brown and his family lived near here, and I'm sure there are other celebrities and well known people who live in this exclusive area.
My friends got married at the restaurant overlooking the beach here and then took wedding photos down on the beach. Beautiful! What a great place for a wedding.
If you want to be adventurous, the walk between Palm Beach (along the narrow road) and Whale Beach is very nice, there are many multi-million dollar homes and multi-million dollar views along this area. Hmmm...If i won the lottery, this might be one of the spots I'd buy a home.
Spending a day at Whale Beach is a great way to spend a day and definitely off the beaten track. A day to remember.
How about a picnic here?! Bring your sunscreen and bottled water.
http://www.manlyweb.com.au/information/about_area/northBeaches.asp Leave a Comment Directions: Off the beaten track, this beach is accessible by car or if you really, really like to walk. The L90 bus drops you off on the main road, it's approx 45 min walk to the beach. I'd say rent a car, and enjoy the day & the scenic coastal drive!
