Australian Beaches – Coogee Beach

Australian beaches are renowned for being beautiful, clean and easily accessible.  CoogeeBeach is a beach that is easy to get to from the city, has great facilities and a good surf.

Many people come to Coogee to enjoy the ocean baths in the areas.  Wylies baths is an award winning bath at the southern end of the beach.  For a small admission price, Bathers can enjoy the ocean pool, but be sheltered from some of the elements in the geater beach area – very popular with locals.

Slightly south of Wylies baths is the Womens pool.  Admission to this pool is for ladies only, and it is well sheltered by the surrounding greenery, affording some privacy that is not available elsewhere.

Coogee has benefited from a clean-up in  recent years, and is now being recognized as a rival to Bondi, its Northern neighbour, in many respects.  The only area where Coogee cannot compete is in surfing.

You won’t see any surfboards at Coogee beach, but plenty of boogie boards, paddling and swimming.  The surf just isn’t big enough to attract the big wave riders.

No visit to Coogee beach is complete without a quiet drink tat the Coogee Bay Hotel.  This hotel is an institution in Sydney, and it now features a recently renovated beer garden, that affords a very nice view over the beach.

There are lots of cafes, lots of restaurants, lots of hotels, good places to stop for a beer, something to eat and everything else you could desire. From Coogee you can turn around and walk back if you like, or you can get a Bus 353 back to BondiBeach.

So if it’s Australian beaches that you want to see, then make sure you check out Coogee beach – it’s one of the greatest.
