Sydney East

Sydney East

With a divine string of calm harbour beaches to the west and a superlative stretch of ocean beaches to the east (including the world-famous Bondi), Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs are a playground for lovers of sun, sand and surf. But the elegant east also offers some of the city’s finest dining, fabulous watering holes from hip bars to old-school pubs, excellent shopping in spots like Bondi Junction and Paddington, the splendid Centennial Park – 190 hectares of glistening green –  and coastal walks that stretch for kilometres. 

Around the harbour

These secluded suburbs sit at the mouth of Sydney Harbour and are known for their quiet beaches and million-dollar mansions.
