One of the things I love about Coogee is the variety of great places to eat out. Nobody likes washing up...
Great for breakfast lunch or dinner. Bookings are a must for dinner on Friday and Saturday nights. They make great coffee and claim to have the best Croque Monsieur in the world!

Located so close to Coogee Beach you can have a swim between courses. Great food and wine and a great view to boot. It's a good option for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

A groovy place to grab a drink, dinner for a couple or take the kids and have a family dinner. Coogee Pavillion can cater to all of the options. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, they have plenty of games to keep the kids busy and an extensive menu to satisfy all tastes. Can get pretty busy on Friday and Saturday nights, but don't worry about the lack of parking as it's not far to walk from the apartment.

What a fantastic spot to have a drink and enjoy a meal. You can eat inside or outside depending on the weather and whilst it can get crowded in Summer, you'll usually always be able to find somewhere to sit.

See a movie at the this wonderful, classic art deco cinema in "The Spot", just 5 minutes up the road. Heritage listed in 1999, it is one of only two art deco theatres remaining in Sydney. Despite the heritage, the complex boasts 7 cinemas as well as the Ritz Bar and Cafe. I also think that they also have the best popcorn in Sydney.

Just a short drive away is this enormous 189ha parkland, right in the middle of the eastern suburbs of Sydney. Connecting Moore Park to Clovelly, Bondi Junction to Coogee and Paddington to Randwick this park provides a haven for so many activities. Take a stroll, have a picnic or bbq, hire a bike or roller blades, go horse riding or just play with the kids in one of the many playground areas.

Another Sydney icon. Why not book the Bridge Climb and see the spectacular view from the top. Otherwise you can wander the surrounding areas on either side of the harbour such as The Rocks or Kirribilli.

A safe and protected shovel nose bay with and artificial reef keeping it ensclosed. Though there's a strip of sand at the end, the rest of the area is concrete, so no sandy togs... Take a mask and snorkel and let the kids see all of the fish swimming around. There are many species of fish, even groper.
