The beautiful city of Sydney in Australia is known all across the globe, among other things, for its iconic Sydney Opera House, hosting one of the most beautiful harbours in the world, the celebrity famous Bondi Beach, its beautiful weather across the clock and its scenic blue waters.
During the span of my 1.5 years in Sydney, I got the opportunity to visit some of the most stunning beaches in Sydney and I decided to pen down some of my favourites for you to transcend into the tranquility of the languid Sydney coast:
1. Bondi Beach
The first name which comes to any soul's mind when they hear the word Sydney and Beach together, is surely the world famous Bondi Beach. It is a very popular beach among both Australian natives as well as tourists. You can easily reach the beach by travelling to Bondi Junction Train station as well as by taking multiple buses which travel to Bondi from the Central station. Whether you are planning to tan yourself to your heart's desire or want to take a nice peaceful stroll along the beach, this is the place to be. Bondi Beach is home to a number of popular food joints, bars and cafes which allows oneself to choose from great Avo sandwiches to Banana pancakes to heavy lunches and ice-creams.
2. Manly Beach
Another must visit beach in Sydney is the popular Manly beach. From the Circular Quay train or bus station, hop onto the ferry to take a scenic ride to reach the gorgeous Manly beach, which is also one of the most popular surfing beaches in the world.
3. Tamarama Beach
This beautiful beach lies along the way if you undertake the famous Bondi to Coogee walk and is a popular hangout spot for many travelers as you can rest, eat at a nice cafe or just enjoy the scenic blue waters.
4. Coogee Beach
The Coogee beach is another popular beach in Sydney and can be reached by travelling to the Arden Street Bus Stop.The beach offers stunning views of the ocean and is a part of the Bondi to Coogee coastal walk.

It is easily reachable by public trains and buses and one gets to enjoy not only the beach, but also the nearby Bare Island, which is popular for its shooting sequence in Tom Cruise' Mission Impossible 2 and also the nearby Botany Bay area.

Enjoy your favourite dessert at Bay Vista Brighton or enjoy a hot cup of coffee at one of the many popular beachside cafes.
