Watch the Sunrise
What's a visit to Sydney without seeing the iconic Bondi Beach? Start your morning bright and early among the dog walkers and joggers while you watch the gorgeous sunrise light up the ocean.
Explore the Coastline
Keep your morning moving as you explore the Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk. This beautiful 6 km walk features sandy beaches, rugged coastline, cliff tops and picturesque ocean views. Breathe in the salty breeze and enjoy the stunning scenery with plenty of spots to stop along the way and snap an aesthetic pic for Instagram.
Breakfast
Once you've made it to Coogee Beach, you're sure to have walked up an appetite. Head to Bazura, a Modern Australian cafe with gorgeous beach views. Soak up the coastal atmosphere while you enjoy a range of breakfast classics, like hotcakes, shakshuka-baked eggs or, of course, avo toast.
Northern Beaches
If there's one thing Sydney has an abundance of, it's beautiful beaches. Take the drive to one of the iconic northern beaches, Manly Beach. Grab your beach bag and favourite book and spread out on the golden sand while you soak up the Aussie sun. Spend the good part of your day swimming in the turquoise waters, surfing the waves, exploring the beach and lying in the sun.
Lunch
When you feel hungry, check out one of the many fish and chip shops around Manly Beach. There are so many to choose from, all a short walking distance from the shore. Here are a few top-rated fish and chip shops to try: Manly Fish Market, Fishmongers Manly and Manly Seafoods. Each offers a range of freshly caught seafood, including fish, crab, oysters and scallops, as well as hot salty chips, fresh salads and more. Order it to go and eat back on the beach with a great view.
