The Bondi to Coogee coastal walk traces about six kilometers of dramatic clifftop paths and beaches along Sydney’s eastern suburbs, passing Bronte and Tamarama beaches along the way.

Self-Guided Walk

A self-guided walk lets you set your own pace along the well-marked coastal path, stopping to swim at any of the beaches along the route.

Guided Small-Group Tour

A guided small-group tour adds a local explaining the area’s history and pointing out hidden spots like the Waverley Cemetery’s ocean views.

Is the Guided Tour Worth It?

The walk is well-signposted and easy to navigate independently, so most visitors do fine self-guided; a guide mainly adds value through local history and lesser-known stops.
