Slightly smaller than its counterpart Bondi beach, the Coogee beach is also known for its dangerous coast break, due to which it has been shielded with rock island to keep swimmers safe inside the shore. Safety instructions are also given by patrollers so that no accidents occur on the beach.

Coogee is crowded throughout the season by tourists and locals. Some come here for a picnic, others for surfing, walking, swimming or just basking in the sun. It is also the perfect spot to go for the waterfront stroll or go through the underwater trail on the dazzling seaside.
