Kendra and I are lucky enough to have some of the most magnificent beaches in the world just a
short ride away from our apartment in Sydney. We took advantage of another stunning afternoon and checked out the Coastal Walk, which starts at Bondi Beach and weaves its way south to Coogee. We arrived on the trail just above Coogee and headed north, dropping down and winding up the ocean cliffs of the Tasman Sea. We came upon Gordons Bay, which houses a heaping collection of old rowboats and one of the most breathtaking ocean views I have ever seen. Heading onward, we came to Clovelly Beach, a tiny inlet that calms the sea for families and young children to swim. We let ourselves get lost a little bit around Burrows Park, where the ocean path hugs the cliffs so closely that we couldn't resist a photo op from above! Rounding the bend, we found ourselves at Waverley Cemetery, a gigantic yet reflective resting place on the water. Many of the residents were buried there in the late 1800's and early 1900's, which made for a
interesting and tranquil history lesson. Next up was Bronte Beach, a lovely little spot with picnic tables for a yummy lunch with a view. Finally, we came to Tamarama, which I have wondered about since meeting a band a few years ago by the same name. When they told me the name of the band originated from the beach where they grew up, I never imagined something so lovely. The sea was a gorgeous green and seeing the brave surfers battling the trecherous waves made my sis and I stop to take it all in. On the way to Bondi, we came across the most lovely sandstone, naturally carved in swirls and whirls that would be impressive for the most skilled sculptor. It's hard to believe such beauty can be created by the elements. But seeing is believing, so check out more photos here:
