One of the biggest questions that occupied me before going to Australia were beach questions. What are the beaches in Australia? What kind of infrastructure is there? Is the ocean warm? Is it possible to swim? That's what I want to answer with today's report from Manly Beach, Sydney.

1. The original trip plan included the Gold Coast, an oceanfront city with wide sandy beaches and a paradise for surfers. But then - including with your help! - I excluded this item from the route. As it turned out, it was not in vain. The beach infrastructure of most Australian cities, as I expected, is more aimed at athletes or sunbathers without an umbrella on a towel. I don’t consider myself to be either the first or the second.

2. There are several beach areas in Sydney. The most famous are Bondi and Manly, I was at both. In both cases, it is a wide strip of beach with fine sand, a promenade, and at a distance there are cafes and restaurants. It’s a pity that there is no (or I didn’t see) a cafe with a view directly to the ocean. There are a couple of such kiosks in Manly, I haven’t seen them at all on Bondi, except for the cafe in the Icebergs club.

3. Australians consider it wrong to pay for the beach, so there are almost no offers for renting umbrellas and sun loungers. On Bondai, we still took umbrellas, sun loungers and beach towels, we paid something like 50 dollars, this is the price for two for a day. Australians themselves sunbathe without umbrellas, even during lunch. I can’t do this, I can’t be in the open sun at all, I need shade.

4. You can have a nice time on the grass under the pine trees. By the way, pay attention to how many tables and benches there are! You can take food with you and have a picnic. True, drinking alcohol here is prohibited by law.

5. Most of the beach is given over to surfers. You can swim only in strictly designated areas. Swimming here is unique: you go in, walk for a long time in knee-deep water, then a wave rolls in - you consider yourself to have taken a swim. Swimming is probably difficult, although I haven’t tried. There are fresh water showers along the beach, but no changing rooms were found.

7. Many people relax on the rocks and swim there.

9. And some work;)

10. This is what the main street of Manly looks like. Most of the stores are dedicated to swimsuits, flip flops, surf shoes and sunscreens. If you forgot something, you can buy it without any problems.

11. This is what the promenade looks like - wide, planted with spreading pine trees.

12. Where the promenade gives way to a narrow walking path, these lizards live on the rocks. The photo was taken by my husband - I was afraid to get so close. They are harmless, they just love the sun too.

13. Well, a few pictures of Manly himself. It must be great to live by the ocean!

14. Houses with water views.

15. Just some kind of Greece!

I liked the beaches in Australia - it’s nice to walk along them, breathe the ocean air, and watch people. You can swim, but if you don’t live within a 5-10 minute walk, it’s inconvenient: you have to carry the entire beach arsenal with you from Sydney, and then, when you get tired of the beach, walk with wet towels in your bag. Might be worth it if you want the real thing beach holiday, rent an apartment on Manly or Bondi, enjoy the sun and water in the morning, come home, get yourself ready, have lunch, and then go to Sydney. There is a ferry to Manly (about a 20-minute journey), and Bondai can be reached by car (15 minutes from the center of Sydney). The water in January was about 20 degrees; according to my feelings, it is colder in the Atlantic at the same temperature.

If you are flying to Australia, but are looking for a 100% beach holiday and resort hotels, then it is better to pay attention to Queensland, where there are many islands in the Coral Sea with hotels a la the Maldives. Also google Kangaroo Island, there are many beautiful lodges and wonderful beaches.

All of the above fully applies to the beaches of Melbourne: they are very beautiful, great for surfers, but not very suitable for those who, like me, do not like to sunbathe without an umbrella on a towel.

The sun is active, sunscreen is a must, even if you just went out for a walk, but in Israel in April I personally found the sun much more dangerous than in January in Australia.

There are no sharks or other marine life in the Melbourne and Sydney area. There are lifeguards on all city beaches. If you drive a car, you can easily reach secluded and beautiful areas of the beach where there will be no one but you. At the same time, tell me!

By the way. Do you know how many kilometers of beaches there are in Australia? 37 thousand!

If you like the blog,

White Paradise is a famous beach located on Holy Trinity Island, the largest island of the archipelago of the same name, consisting of 74 islands.

Fans of active sports can go rafting, kayaking or jet skiing, but if you want tranquility, you can just have a picnic on the beach with a bottle of good champagne


We should also talk about the local sand - the purity of which is 99.89%, which far exceeds the most stringent requirements for the production of the world's best glass, optical lenses for binoculars, etc. The origin of the sand is not known exactly, but scientists say that it is not of local origin, and most likely it is brought here by sea currents
