  • Mahon Pool - Sydney
    Mahon Pool
    by sympatriot
    Send Photo to a Friend
    Just down from Coogee, Maroubra is a real beach. Real surf, real people, corner shops where you can still buy eggs and 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner at the same time. 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.

    Why Bondi is so famous? I decided to find out this time, together with my babe. Bondi was quite different from what I had imagined. I was amazed by its long shoreline, I was overwhelmed by its white fine sand and I was surprised by its clean water. It's a beach of a city but its quality is so high!!! If only we could have one such beach in HK.... The waves also attracted lots of surfers. I was so jealous of them. I wish I could surf too. It looked fun and cool... We walked on the beach towards the left end (left when you face the water), where there's a path leading to some vantage points. The view from there was simply unbeatable. I was in love with Bondi. No matter how touristy Bondi is, its uniqueness and charm are still there to steal your soul.

    Bondi Icebergs is situated at the end of Bondi Beach at Notts Avenue. It has the famous 'Bondi Baths' - a pool set into the ocean. Watch the waves crash onto the pool while sitting on the overhead balcony where you can enjoy a great breakfast, lunch or dinner. Its even better when the swim club has its racing days... The views out across Bondi Beach are unforgettable. Be sure to check it out :D

    Another personal favorite of mine and a place where my family often go. 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..

    This is an absolutely beautiful beach. In fact, it was my very first time to visit it! It's not as busy as the Eastern Suburbs and Manly Beaches, which is great. A big difference with the beaches in the Eastern Suburbs and Northern Suburbs is the colour of the sand. It's more of an orange colour. 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!

    If you like the ocean then you should visit Bondi Beach. We caught the local city bus which took about 20 minutes from downtown Sydney. There are places to eat across the street from the beach. You can also walk on the rocky shoreline on the left side of the beach.

    Lifesavers ~ the standard at pools and beaches everywhere today ~ really got their start in Bondi. It was formed in 1906 and others popped up around the country, then overseas.

    Sunrises and water seem to go together and Sydney has a lot of this, ie beautiful beaches and glorious sunrises. Make the effort.

  • Bondi Beach (pronounced "bond-eye") is the coolest beach in Sydney. Given that there are over 20 great beaches in Sydney, Bondi is something special. It is great at all times of the day. The sand is great. The water perfect - not too cold, not too deep, not much of a rip. It can be crowded on really hot days. Topless women tend to sunbathe near the northern end of the beach - near the family rock pool - away from the perv's.
