The scenery among the beauties is so enchanting that it's worth the journey to the fairy sea

One of the most classic routes is the line from Bondi Beach to Coogee Beach. Starting from the iconic Icebergs pool restaurant at Bondi Beach, have a brunch and a glass of champagne. Icebergs was established in 1929, originally as a winter swimming club, with the intention of keeping the lifeguards of Bondi's surfing beaches in shape during the winter. It has now become a three-story pool restaurant and bar. Remember to bring your ID, The whole journey is 6 kilometers, taking 2-3 hours, passing through cliffs and various beaches, big and small, such as Tamarama Beach, Bronte Beach, Clovelly, Coogee Beach. Clovelly, in particular, is located in a natural small cove, with rock walls on both sides, calm and shallow waters, making it especially suitable for snorkeling, fun for the whole family. After leaving Clovelly, choose your route carefully! Walking along the shallow waters by the sea starts off romantic, admiring the mountain flowers and the sea. As you walk, it gets harder as the tide rises and the accessible rocks become fewer, and the cliffs on the other side get higher, making it difficult to advance or retreat. If you take the cliff path, the trail above is much easier. After passing through the strange rock formations, you will find the hidden and beautiful Gordons Bay. Most of Sydney's seawater is deep blue, but here it is emerald green. Gordons Bay is considered one of the best snorkeling and diving spots in Sydney. Underwater, there is a 620-meter submarine trail connected by 44 concrete blocks. In 1991, divers from the Gordons Bay Diving Club dragged each of the 200-kilogram blocks to their current location, with the deepest part being 14 meters, for the enjoyment of diving enthusiasts. Hiking time is 2 hours and 20 minutes. Arriving at Coogee Beach at 2 pm, the guide said 2 hours was enough, and some even finish the whole journey in 90 minutes, but after walking it, I really take my hat off to them! Halfway through, the two of us had a simple meal with the sea breeze, and the rest of the time we walked at a good pace (almost in a hurry) under the urging of my teammate. After returning, I checked Alltrails which said the average completion time is 2 hours and 46 minutes, so for first-timers, it's recommended to prepare your trip according to this time, so you can enjoy the sea view, eat leisurely, and take beautiful photos without any rush. The trail is crowded, with many people and dogs There are really a lot of people, and the flow speed is also very fast. The alternating steps and flat paths are relatively knee-friendly. Except for a few narrow slopes that need to be passed sideways, most of the trail is spacious and equipped with viewing platforms. The coastal park near Coogee is completely a dog paradise, and I thought I knew quite a few dog breeds, but in reality, I was still ignorant. Watching the shiny-coated, tail-wagging big dogs playing and running is simply too healing. The signs are clear, and the facilities at the scenic spots along the way are well-developed Almost every coastal park has fast-food restaurants, beverage shops, and some even have children's play facilities. Eating, resting, going to the restroom, etc., is not a worry at all. Precautions: Bring your ID, sunscreen, hat, bath towel, swimsuit, snorkeling mask. There are restaurants on every beach, so you don't have to worry about not having anything to eat.
