3 Amazing Days in Sydney

If you’re looking to relax on new beaches or do some hikes, this guide will provide you with all my favourite beaches in Sydney. For all the foodies, I’ve made sure to add in some cafes where you can enjoy a brunch as well as some dinner places to watch stunning sunsets from!

Must Visit Beaches in Sydney

Bondi stands out as one of the world's most renowned beaches, and it was my home base during my time in Australia. Hop on the train to Bondi Junction and stroll down to the beach. Whether you choose to unwind on the sand, embark on a coastal walk, or give surfing a shot, the day is yours to enjoy. Right across the street awaits a myriad of fantastic fresh food choices, perfect for a delightful oceanside picnic.

A must-see in Sydney if not just for the fact that it’s the most iconic beach here. If you’re lucky, you might just catch the Bondi rescue crew in action but please be careful as tides can be rough and you do not want to end up on the show (I haven’t either but I imagine it would be a humbling experience aside from its obvious danger).

Dive into the laid-back surf culture at Bondi Beach, where golden sands meet the Pacific Ocean. Known for its world-class waves and the iconic Bondi Icebergs pool, this vibrant coastal haven invites you to relax on the beach, explore the Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk, and soak up the sun in true Aussie style.

There is no Sydney without Bondi Beach. Bondi is the city's most famous and popular beach and its worth the bus ride. Whether you are looking to swim in the Pacific Ocean, sunbathe on the golden sand, hike around or have a drink or a meal beachside, Bondi is the place to be


Who doesn't know the famous Bondi Beach? The sweeping white-sand crescent of Bondi is one of Australia’s most iconic beaches. Its reliable waves draw surfers all year-round.

One of the most iconic beaches in Sydney.  If you are down for an adventure, I encourage you to take surfing clases here, another great outdoor activity. 

Iconic beach you must visit! While you're here consider a fun surf lesson especially during summer!

The beach itself is gorgeous and the area nearby is full of cute shops and restaurants.

Cool neighborhood that you can't miss out
