Secluded Vacation

Sydney is home to some world class beaches, most notably Bondi Beach, which attract many tourists throughout the year. It conjures up the traditional Australian image of the tan and toned Aussie lifeguard in the red and yellow cap and budgie smugglers as well as the crowded yet breathtaking beach and ocean views. However, Bondi may be slightly overrated if crowds aren’t your thing and as any local will tell you if asked, there are plenty of similar beaches that you won’t have to fight to sit on.

Coogee Beach, just south of Bondi is like the Sydney beaches’ little brother and often gets overlooked. Coogee offers plenty of space to spread out on with large grass and sand areas to enjoy.

North of the CBD can also be rewarding, with quieter and smaller white-sand beaches on the coast of the Upper North Shore. I’d recommend either Whale or Palm beach.  Read more...
