Beaches and surf
The vibe:
With waves as cool as its lifestyle, Sydney beaches are great for surfing, people-watching and plenty of outdoor fun. Learn to surf, scuba dive or sail in some of the most famous waterways in Australia - at beaches such as Bondi, Manly, Palm Beach and Coogee or on Sydney Harbour. Sydney has 350km of coastline with bays, surf and harbour beaches for visitors and locals to explore.
