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.
