This is our stamping ground and I must have been here more than one thousand times. great place to walk from one end to the other. There are views to inspire you at the northern park and great views again at Trennery Reserve at the south end. You have play parks , off leash dog areas, a million cafes and... More

Great beach to visit if you want to avoid the Bondi crowds, beautiful area, easy to get to from the city--there is a bus that takes you straight there More

Not the prettiest beach to look at, and the shops / hotels along the foreshore don't offer a lot of interest. The walk around the beach is great. The waves can be great for swimming, depending on the tides. More

I love Coogee and Coogee Beach and used to work around here. It's a smaller version of Bondi without allbeing over-run with tourists, and a great spot to start your Coogee-Bondi coastal walk. Great restaurants, great pubs and cafes, like a small town in the middle of the city, it's perfect. More

Popular surf beach south of Bondi. Clean. Bit big for me. I prefer the cosy Tamarama or Bronte. It has park right up to the pedestrian path with the road well back from the beach. There are not enough trees for me. More

Coogee is a great place to visit but it has become expensive and parking is impossible. You can now park in park and pay areas but its the same price as parking in the City. Food is expensive. The beach itself is great and safe to swim most of the time. Always swim between the RED and YELLOW flags. More
