Coogee Beach

Coogee Beach is a popular seaside suburb of Sydney in NSW Australia about 7 km from the Sydney CBD. Its also a similar distance from Sydney’s International and domestic airport. So it very convenient to those who are travelling to Sydney for meetings in the city and great for those who wish to check out the great things Sydney has to offer (eg museums, theatre, art and food) without having to stay in the CBD.

Coogee is a great place to hang out. It has some great cafes and restaurants, clubs and pubs, and good swimming at its ocean beach and at several ocean pools and some excellent diving and snorkelling nearby. It is connected to some other great Sydney beaches by a well maintained and scenic coastal walking path. This is a fairly easy walk and you can walk the entire length of the track in a couple of hours.  The track goes north to south from Bondi Beach, Tamarama, Bronte, Clovelly, Coogee and Maroubra.

Coogee Beach is a clean and relatively safe beach. It is an ocean beach so you can get some strong currents from time to time. The beach is patrolled by life guards 7 days a week during the swimming season. It is, however, usually best to swim between the flags.

There is plenty of accommodation ranging from backpack style, bed and breakfast, boutique hotels, serviced apartments and large chain hotels like the Crown Plaza Holiday Inn. The Crown Plaza is where all the sporting teams stay I even saw Diego Maradonna there once.

The public transport is clean, efficient and cheap.  You can hop on a bus at the beach and be sipping champagne at the Opera House in no time. Taxis are abundant and there are shuttle services to and from the airport.
