Great for little kids and picnics, great to watch the abundance of boats/yachts/ferries go by.
This bush-style park located among elite palace-style houses at Vaucluse could be a hidden gem for an unsuspecting visitor.
Gorgeous giant fig trees in the park and large rocks along the shore make walking a pleasure, while shark beach is an excellent beach where swimming is secured by a shark proof net. The area is an extremely popular destination on a warm sunny weekend or for any outdoor party or Picnic.
There is a kiosk and restaurant there as well.
Parking space on such a day is limited, so be prepared to leave your car further down the street. Leave a Comment Address: Greycliffe Ave, VaucluseDirections: Eastern Suburbs of Sydney - 5 - 10 minute drive from the CBD.

 Bilgola Beach... notice the
houses near the cliff! by Joseph69, 4 more photos
Bilgola is not built up, and it also includes a salt-water rockpool. The beach is patrolled for your safety too by the lifesavers.
I think just take a look at the pictures. You will want to come here! Leave a Comment Address: Bilgola Ave, BilgolaDirections: Either drive north past the suburb of Mona Vale, you will enter Barrenjoey Road. Turn right into The Serpentine. Or, take the L90 bus from the City (usually displayed with Palm Beach) from Central Station, Town Hall or Wynyard. Check website for details.Website: www.131500.com.au

This is a great little beach that has something for everyone, except maybe surfers... there's no surf! It has a netted area for safe swimming, and clean golden sand for the kids to play on. Along the esplanade are coffee shops and restaurants, and a walk along there is lovely. You can find a nice spot to sit and watch the planes landing at Sydney Airport. There is also a monument to the First Fleet which we found interesting.
We 'discovered' this beach by accident. We had a free night with the Accor Hotel Group to use up, and as my step father had to go to Sydney for surgery, I looked for a hotel near his hospital. Novotel Brighton was the closest. I had no idea this area was so near to the airport (about 10 minutes if that). It would be a nice alternative to stay out here rather than on the other side if you have an early flight. Address: Brighton Beach

The 1 km long Dee Why Beach reaches from Oaks Avenue to the entrance of Dee Why Lagoon.
Its a perfect place to bring the family and is popular amonst many sydneyites.
It is also home to some very fine resturants along the beachside and you can get some wonderful icecreams.. Leave a Comment

 Ocean pools are a common
Sydney feature by sympatriot
- rowdy louts at the Coogee Bay Hotel (a drinking establishment frequented by backpackers - www.coogeebayhotel.com.au);
- the lack of surf (Wedding Cake Island offshore prevents it);
- the difficulty of obtaining a carpark; and
- the presence of posers (nowhere near as bad as Bondi in this regard).
I love it because if you filter out all of the above, it actually is the coolest place to call home. After the stress of uni or work (or sunbathing), you can go for a dip as the sun sets before grabbing some nosh from the shops and cafes and heading back down to the promenade steps to graze away at your heart's content. Here, one can be a bludger, student, plumber or stock-broker, and you couldn't necessarily tell the difference - you'd probably be wearing boardshorts like everyone else in summer.
One should always wear maximum protection eyewear, however. The glare emanating from the legs sticking out from many an English backapcker lad's nylon football shorts is enough to blind anyone on a bright day ;-)
Coogee made the headlines a few years ago when somebody noticed that a fence post on the north headland cast a shadow that looked like the Virgin Mary at a certain time of the day. Despite the fact that it was physically explainable, enormous crowds resulted nonetheless, and parking was even harder to find. Leave a Comment

 Mahon Pool by sympatriot
It's a really long beach, and it's always been a bit of an outpost - it's not quite as accessible by public transport as say, Bondi or Coogee, but it is now all changing sadly. The street is being paved, newly renovated apartments are selling for half a mill - tsk tsk you can hear the locals grinding their teeth. It will continue no matter what views people have from either side, I guess.
Mahon Pool is a nice ocean pool up on the northern headland. When the sea is up, it's great to be swimming in it while monster waves pound away at arm's reach. Near the pool, the Pool cafe is a very nice, if a wee bit expensive place to eat.
Down in the main shop area, Mr Big Stuff is a cool place for brekkie.
At Magic Point, a dive site off the southern end, one can go diving and see a school of harmless Grey Nurse sharks. Please respect them and dont harass them. Leave a Comment

 One place you just have to go
to..... by SierraSydney, 4 more photos

Board a ferry at Circular Quay, and enjoy the 30 minute trip to Manly wharf. You will pass the sites of the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and all the suburbs sprinkled along the eastern part of the harbour.
Once at Manly, it's a short 5 to 10 minute walk to Manly Beach. It's a nice day out. There are plenty of restaurants at Manly to satisfy your taste buds, and you can enjoy a swim or just enjoy the view out to sea. Leave a Comment
