💡 Tips
- Walk the iconic coastal track from Coogee to Bondi; start early in summer to avoid the midday sun and crowds.
- Parking near Coogee or Maroubra beaches is extremely limited on sunny weekends; use buses from Sydney CBD or Bondi Junction instead.
- Check the surf conditions and always swim between the red and yellow flags, as rips at beaches like Maroubra can be deceptively strong.
- For snorkeling, head to Clovelly Beach or Gordon's Bay, where the sheltered coves offer clearer waters and abundant marine life.
- If attending a race at Royal Randwick, dress codes apply for certain enclosures, so check the requirements before you go.
🍽 Food
Grab an avocado smash and a flat white at one of the bustling cafes overlooking Coogee Beach.
Enjoy classic chicken schnitzel or a steak at one of the historic local pubs in Randwick or along the coast.
Pick up a seafood basket from the takeaway shops near the beaches to eat on the grass reserves (watch out for the aggressive ibises!).

Randwick City Council covers a prominent stretch of Sydney's spectacular eastern coastline. It is a diverse and lively area that perfectly balances urban living with a relaxed beachside lifestyle. The region is internationally renowned for its spectacular coastal scenery and a string of beautiful beaches, including the iconic Coogee Beach, the surf-friendly Maroubra Beach, and the sheltered, family-friendly waters of Clovelly Beach, Yarra Bay Beach, Little Bay Beach, Frenchmans Bay, and Malabar Beach. One of the biggest draws in the area is the famous Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk, a cliff-top path that features sweeping panoramic ocean views, passing by rocky bays and ocean pools. The area is also rich in sporting history, home to the Royal Randwick Racecourse, one of Australia's premier horse racing venues, and a passionate rugby league community. In addition to the beaches, visitors can explore the historic La Perouse area, where Botany Bay meets the Pacific Ocean. This spot gives fascinating Aboriginal history, colonial forts, and excellent scuba diving opportunities. With a thriving café culture, excellent public transport, and endless ocean activities, Randwick is an essential part of the Sydney experience.
