As far as beach-side suburbs go, it’s an absolute cracker, delivering all the laid-back trademarks of Sydney’s inimitable beach-side lifestyle. Here you can walk, surf, swim, snorkel, laze on the sand, shop, eat and drink to your heart’s content.

Coogee is an ocean-side haven that not only offers gorgeous coastline, but a buzzing social scene too. One of Sydney’s oldest beachside suburbs, its attraction lies in its deeply ingrained beach culture and close proximity to the city.

The hilly streets and plethora of apartments mean there are plenty of opportunities for a home with an ocean view, and housing comes in a wide range of period styles.
