Bondi Beach, possibly the most famous beach in Australia, alongside Bells Beach and Kirra point, is a popular place to soak up the sun, sand and water, located in the eastern suburbs of Sydney. Bondi is also one of the most tourist filled area's in Sydney. Whilst spending a few hours or even days in Bondi should be atop your 'things to do' list whilst you're in Sydney, there are several other similar beaches that won't be as crowded or touristy.
Coogee Beach, just south of Bondi is like the Sydney beaches' little brother and often gets overlooked. Coogee offers plenty of space to spread out on with large grass and sand areas to enjoy.
The upper north shore (north of the CBD) may offer some smaller and quieter beaches than those of the eastern suburbs. Palm Beach and Whale Beach are top picks for this area.
Feeling the need for a few drinks after a day at the beach? Not to worry, Sydney is home to a myriad of bars, pubs and some of the best restaurants in Australia. Bottle shops and pubs (often both on the same corner) are plentiful in almost every suburb of Sydney. The chilled out Melt Bar in Kings Cross and the Roxbury in Glebe are some interesting nightspots Sydney has to offer. Kuleto's in Newtown is one of the best restaurants for Italian food in the area. The Rocks is an historic area north of the CBD that is full of charming pubs, in an amazing colonial style setting overlooking the Harbour Bridge.
Travelling and food go hand in hand - firstly, because you need food to survive and secondly because food is a significant part of experiencing a different culture and destination. Sydney has some of the best international cuisine as well as a plethora of modern Australian food for you to sample. The only problem is knowing where to eat, especially if you're on a budget.
