9. Camp Cove
This is a spectacular secret spot known to mostly to local insiders. See if you can find it in the posh Vaucluse suburb between South Head and Green Point. It doesn’t have the surf and swell of Bondi, but that also means it doesn’t have the crowds.
10. Balmoral Beach
Not far from the Taronga Zoo, this family-friendly harbour beach is located in the posh Mossman neighborhood. Try paddleboarding, surfing or sailing here or just relax in the sand. The south end has some safety nets for a shark-free swim. You can dine at the fancy cafes or grab a casual fish and chips here.
