A Beach Bum’s Guide to the Eastern Suburbs Beaches in Sydney, Sydney, Australia

I spent two months living in the Eastern Suburbs in Sydney during summer and it was a wonderful time of beach-hopping, snorkeling, discovering the different beach neighborhoods, and swimming in the numerous ocean pools.

Here’s a rundown of the Eastern Suburbs beaches in Sydney and why you should add them to your Sydney Itinerary.

Moving to Coogee Beach in Sydney was a dream of mine since I first stayed with my cousin there when I was 17. When I moved back to Sydney, I couldn’t afford to sign a lease on an apartment so I found a two-month sublet in Coogee to live in while I searched for work.

Coogee had changed a lot in the time since my first visit but I still loved it. It had definitely become a lot busier and had been discovered by the tourist masses, not unlike its big brother, Bondi.

But despite this, it still had its laid-back charm and the beach was just as beautiful as it ever was. I was so happy to be finally living in Coogee, even if it was just for a short period.

Coogee is one of the beach suburbs in the affluent Eastern Suburbs in Sydney and is 30 minutes by bus into the city (unless it is rush hour, where it can be double that).

Although it is a suburb of Sydney, it definitely retains a village-like feel with a bustling main street with lots of foot traffic, complete with a supermarket, retail outlets, restaurants, cafes, and bars. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
