Bronte Beach - Tue, 26 Dec 2023, 1pm
Today we're doing the Bondi to Coogee Beachwalk. It's a route I found yesterday/this morning while researching which is the "best" beach in Sydney to visit. Answer: Visit ALL the beaches!
This route takes us from Bondi Beach to Tamarama Beach, Bronte Beach, Clovelly Beach, Gordon's Bay, and Coogee Beach. I've embedded a map from Sydney.com's Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk page (see right/below).
In addition to five beaches we also hike over numerous cliffs... and past a large cemetery.
At the moment we're only part way through the hike. We're at Bronte Beach, and it's started to rain. Like, not just a sprinkle— which we'd be fine with, as we brought rain jackets knowing afternoon showers are in the weather forecast— but pouring. Fortunately we were already planning on stopping for lunch as we're hungry, and there's a row of small cafes across the road from the beach area. We dashed the last few hundred steps in the rain.
It'll take me a while to get pics from the beaches, cliffs, and cemetery up (I know you're all... dying... to see those pics! 😎) so for now here's a pic of lunch.
It's a lamb wrap in lavash bread with a side of chips (American: fries). The cafe we're at calls itself a burger shop but I noticed the owner is Middle Eastern as are some of the staff, so I made an educated guess to order the one Middle Eastern item on menu. Wow, it's good!
