Tourist Trap: Absolutely none
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • I have travelled to many countries around the world and I can easily say I experienced the least troubles in Sydney than I even experience in my home in London. Everyone is so helpful and so friendly. The one thing was that whenever you think about Sydney beaches the first beach that comes to mind is Bondi. If you would like to escape the masses of tourists try the Northern Beaches e.g. Palm Beach, Whale Beach or Avalon or the Southern Beaches such as Coogee or Bronte.

    Beaches: Avoid the beautiful but crowded beaches
  • Tip Rating:
  • I have travelled to many countries around the world and I can easily say I experienced the least troubles in Sydney than I have ever experienced in any other country. Everyone is so helpful and so friendly. The one thing was that whenever you think about Sydney beaches the first beach that comes to mind is Bondi. However, I found that Bondi even though it is beautiful, is not necessarily the nicest because it is so packed with people. I found it quite invasive.

    At Least Do This: Park your car on top of the hill going down to Bondi and walk down. Big hike back up but chances are you won't find a park anywhere. Not too easy to get to with public transport.
    Also whilst there ask people about the Bondi to Bronte walk along the lciffs. Well known amongst locals. Absolutely beautiful and you can walk to the next beach along within 10 minutes.
    Alternative: If you would like to escape the masses of tourists try the Northern Beaches e.g. Palm Beach, Whale Beach or Avalon. Another alternative is the Southern Beaches such as Coogee or Bronte.

    All of these beaches are packed with hot bronzed Aussie boys. However on Bondi you get the feeling that the boys are competing with the girls in a swimsuit modelling competition.

     Hi again Gwynnie & again I have to agree with your beaches advice. It's such a shame that people usually only go to either Manly or Bondi (have nothing against them) & not see some of these other more beautiful beaches.
