Urban beach lifestyle
Sydney is a city in love with water activities. As well as being home to one of the finest natural harbours in the world, Sydney has some of the most famous surf beaches too. Don't miss the surfer’s heaven, Bondi Beach, or Manly Beach on the north side of the harbour. If you're looking for a taste of Sydney's famed beach lifestyle, check out Bronte and Tamarama in the eastern suburbs and northern beaches Avalon, Newport and Palm Beach.
Outdoor fitness around Sydney
Blessed with a mild, mediterranean climate year round, Sydney caters well anyone who loves exercising outdoors. The city has a collection of waterfront swimming pools, gyms, fitness parks, yoga studios and bike tours available at many locations. Wherever you stay, you'll discover that you're never too far away from a track, a park or a pool.
Sydney Olympic Park, home of the 2000 Olympic Games, is a major sporting and social venue with excellent facilities that visitors can use. Nearby Bicentennial Park is crisscrossed by numerous walking and bicycle tracks with bike hire available.
Many of the beaches on Sydney's coast have seaside saltwater pools. Join the year-round die-hards for their early morning wake up swim. Wylies Baths, the historic netted sea pool at the southern end of Coogee Beach, also provides early-morning yoga classes and massages by the poolside. Bondi Icebergs Club on Bondi Beach is famous for its all-weather swimming club and indoor gym.
On the harbourside there's a number of Olympic-size swimming pools for lap swimming or to take the kids on a hot day. There are also aquatic centres at the Andrew Boy Charlton pool in the Botanic Gardens, North Sydney and Leichhardt which have Olympic size pools, kids wading pools and good change facilities.
Mornings and evenings come alive with walkers and joggers and groups participating in boot camp activities. Pyrmont Point Park boardwalk, Bondi and the Royal Botanic Gardens are favourite spots with paths and good views.
