Best of all its minutes away by car or walk from the house. Or catch a bus from 150m away if you don’t want to walk or bother with parking. I’m biased but I think Coogee is Sydney’s best beach!

Traveler advice
Getting around
Car and Bus
Eastern Suburbs is easily drive-able but often have to factor in cost of parking if you want to be very close to the beaches. Another option is the many bus routes which service Coogee, Bondi Junction and Bondi beach, City and the beautiful slightly quieter beaches to the southern part of Eastern Suburbs such as Maroubra, Malabar, Little Bay and La Perouse.
