Hotels near Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk

The Bondi to Coogee coastal walk is a 6-kilometre clifftop trail connecting six beaches: Bondi, Tamarama, Bronte, Clovelly, Gordons Bay, and Coogee. The path is paved, well-signed, and takes about 2 hours at a leisurely pace with stops. It runs along sandstone cliffs with ocean views the entire way, passing through the Waverley Cemetery (established 1877, with graves overlooking the Pacific) and several rock pools ideal for swimming.

Each beach along the route has a different character. Tamarama is small and popular with surfers. Bronte has a large grassy park for picnics and a tidal rock pool. Clovelly is a narrow inlet perfect for snorkelling. Gordons Bay has an underwater nature trail. Coogee has a wide beach and the Wylie's Baths ocean pool. The walk is free and open 24 hours, though the clifftop sections are unlit at night.

Pro Tip: Walk south from Bondi to Coogee (not the reverse) so the afternoon sun is behind you and you end at Coogee Pavilion, which has a rooftop bar with ocean views and wood-fired pizzas.
