Directions

A beloved southern beaches gem with a more relaxed, community feel than Bondi despite being just a few kilometres south. The protected bay makes for calmer swimming conditions, and the coastal walk north toward Bondi is one of Sydney's finest. Weekends still draw crowds, and parking is genuinely painful — bus or walk from Randwick.
