Exploring
Ivor Rowe Pool
The lovely walk to Maroubra from Coogee regularly gets overshadowed by it’s more well known neighbour – Bondi to Coogee. Especially during these times it’s great to get further away from it with a much more secluded walk along the stunning Sydney coastline. While walking down to Maroubra you can discover Ivor Rowe Pool – a little rock pool which pops up with the tide. On a nice day this is perfect for a dip or grab a great insta shot – but just remember to check the tide times as you don’t want to get washed away.
Hermitage Foreshore Walk
Less than 10km from Coogee is the Hermitage Foreshore Walk; a stunning 1.8km walk along from Rose Bay to Neilson Park. It’s not far, but this relaxing walk was made for lengthy pit stops – picnics, photo ops and great spots for swimming at a number of scenic beaches overlooking the harbour.
