About this place

Bondi is the icon — surfers, sea pools, the coastal walk to Coogee that might be the world's best free attraction — but ferry-reached Manly arguably beats it, and harbour coves like Shark Beach hide in the eastern suburbs. Museums, bridge climbs and opera fill the mornings; the Pacific owns every afternoon. Summer runs December to February.
