 Walking down to Warriewood
Beach - looking North by AmazingAdventures
Like all of Sydney's northern beaches, this one also has the famous golden sand, it's clean and not crowded at all.
Great for swimming, great for kids, great for surfing and great just to hang out, enjoy the sun, the scenery and good friends.
It's just south of Mona Vale Beach, accessible by the beach during low tide and by road at all times. They also have a Surf Lifesaving Club. I was hanging out at Mona Vale beach one afternoon, then low tide came along and I walked over to this beach. What a nice surprise!
A smaller, quiet beach. A little off the beaten track as most people go to the more well known beaches, but this one is quite deserving as well.
Worth a visit, at least drive by, take a few photos from the scenic headlands on the south end of the beach. Leave a Comment

 Mon Vale Beach, NSW by AmazingAdventures
Mona Vale beach is sort of like 3 beaches in one. It's a 5-10 minute walk to the shops from here or you can drive. There are lots of places to park. You can also take the bus close to here and walk 5 minutes to the beach down Golf Ave. There is also a golf course with a view of the beach adjacent.
This is considered one of Sydney's Northern Beaches, (on the Barrenjoey Peninsula) and has golden brown sand and a nice safe swimming pool filled with ocean water.
Great beach for taking a walk or a jog, surfing, sun bathing, hanging out with friends, building sand castles, enjoy a nice ocean breeze on a warm afternoon. Very calm and peaceful and usually not very crowded on weekdays. Can be crowded on sunny weekends and holidays.
Take a walk up to the Headlands or coastal walk on either end of the beach and you will find a breath taking view.
Bring your sunscreen and some drinking water Leave a Comment

 Newport Beach, NSW by AmazingAdventures
The beach is right next to many shops, restaurants, pubs, suprmarket, fruit & veg shops and surf shops. Grab some fish-n-chips and walk over to the beach and enjoy the view, the sea breeze and the local atmosphere. How relaxing!
Enjoy a swim, a walk along the water, surfing, sunbathing, hang out with family or freinds and enjoy the day. Newport is a popular hangout for locals and some tourists who go a little off the beaten track!
Be sure to only swim between the flags! Have sunscreen and some bottled water with you too

 Put yourself in the picture by iandsmith
Manly, Harboard, Dee Why, Clovelly, Narabeen, Curl Curl, Whale Beach and Palm Beach (if you want to live at the latter two, make sure you have lots of money) are but some of the lovely summer playgrounds that Sydneysiders enjoy. Public transport is limited to buses and cabs though, except for Manly where ferry is the preferred option from Circular Quay. You are definitely better off with your own vehicle in this part of the country.

 BondiBeach by xuessium
It has fine sand and the waters beautifully blue with plenty of surfers dude and gals having a go at the waves. This place is packed tight on the weekends with plenty of beautiful blonzed (and baked) bodies.
How to get there:
Bus numbers 380, 381, 382 and 389 serves Bondi Beach from Sydney. Bus fares are calculated according to the number of sections you travel. It's all a bit complex for tourists but briefly it's A$1.60 from Bondi Junction, A$2.70 from Paddington and Darlinghurst and A$3.60 from Circular Quay.
There is a train service from the city (via Town Hall) to Bondi Junction. The Sydney train system finishes around midnight. There are a couple of later trains on Friday and Saturday nights at 12:09 and 12:39. At weekends, the trains run every 15 minutes on 10, 25, 40 and 55 from Bondi Junction to the city. Leave a Comment

Liz is a big beach girl and wanted to see Bondi. We hopped on a bus and went to Bondi Beach. The bus ride was easy and quick. We started our day lounging on the beach. The sand is super fine and soft. It was a bit windy in the morning but that didn't hamper the visit. Liz took a dip in the Pacific as I lounged on the beach. It was great to sit and watch the waves crash, the surfers and the people strolling by. The weather was beautiful and we had a fabulous day. Leave a Comment

 Camp Cove... hidden
harbour-side treasure by amyhenderson
If you don't mind a bit of people-watching and crowded beach, I recommend Manly, Bondi, Palm Beach or Tamarama.
If you prefer something a bit more down-to-earth but still want a surf beach, then perhaps Coogee or one of my favourite surf beaches, Freshwater.
However, if you are after no surf but still a beautiful view then I have to recommend my absolute favourite... Camp Cove.
It's a harbour beach located just by Watsons Bay. It has a beautiful outlook, clear water, not too big, not too small, great swimming, good angle because you get the very last sunshine of the day and best of all, not too many people know about it. Uh oh, I could be in trouble for letting the secret out!!
There is also good rock-climbing & diving around Camp Cove, but more details on that in Sports tips.
Parking can be tricky on hot, Summer days because of the local harbour-side pub, but you'll find something, somehow.
Happy beaching! Leave a Comment Address: Drive to Military Rd, Watsons Bay then...Directions: Drive out to Watsons Bay, down to the park on Military Road, keep going straight ahead until you have to go left. At that point, you'll see a big sign to CAMP COVE. You can't miss it.

Walk round the headland on the coastal path at the southern end of Bondi Beach - round MacKenzies Point to get the view of the southern sweep of bays and beaches. MacKenzie Bay is rocky with no beach: Tamarama (the smaller inlet in picture) is a lovely protected bay with sandy beach and facilities including a little cafe and further south, the sweep of Bronte Beach.
It's also known as the Trolly Dollies Beach - so D&G spandex G-strings are de rigeur :) Leave a Comment

An annual event is the Sculpture By the Sea exhibition - approx 100 pieces of work displayed along the coastal path from Iceberg Club House/Restaurant overlooking Bondi through to Tamarama Beach. Some pieces work fantastically in their locations, others sadly missing the point. But those that are on the clifftops certainly provide great views of the coastline.
One of our personal favourites for the 2003 exhibition was the work by Willemina Villari - the family staring out to sea. Leave a Comment

 Bondi Beach by martin_nl
Beside being a wonderful beach for lots of activities, Bondi is also the start or finish of the Bondi to Coogee scenic walk. This is a walk of a couple of hours that will take you to some other beaches like Bronte and Tamarama. These beaches aren't as busy and well worth checking out. Leave a Comment Directions: Take the bus from Hyde Park station or take the metro to Bondi Junction and then the bus.
