| Sydney Beaches | You're never far from a beach in Sydney, except in the far western suburbs. The city is dotted with many Pacific beaches, starting with Palm Beach in the north to Cronulla in the south, between the Hawkesbury River in the north and the Royal National Park in the south.
The Pacific beaches fall into two categories, those on the North Shore such as Manly, Narrabeen and Palm Beach and those on the South Shore which include Bondi, Coogee and Cronulla. There are hundreds of smaller sandy coves inside the harbor itself.
Here are some of the most popular Pacific beaches in Sydney:
Manly Beach
Located on the Northern side of the Harbor, it is the access point to the Northern Peninsula. Manly Beach is one of Sydney's longest and most beautiful ocean beaches. At Manly the surfing beach is about three km long and has three names, North Steyne, South Steyne and Queenscliff. Here one may find a wide choice of places to eat and drink, from fast-food outlets to quality seafood, steak, Asian and Italian restaurants.
Coogee Beach
It is a small and secluded beach of Sydney. Several hotels have come up in this area. Numerous 'Backpacker' style establishments are also available, as well as a wide variety of cafes and restaurants - many with open air (pavement) seating.
Narrabeen Beach
It is part of Sydney's famous northern beaches stretch that lies at the northern end of a broad three-mile stretch of sand. Narrabeen beach is famous as one of the great surf breaks of the world.
