Coogee To Bondi Coastal Cliff Walk-Sydney’s Most Incredible Views

 

Bondi to Coogee coastal walk is loved by locals and tourists alike. This cliff walk that extends 6 Kilometers, offers stunning views of the bluest water, secluded beaches, cliffs and gorgeous rock pools. Bondi, being the epitome of Australia’s beach culture remains crowded even during winter months. So we decided to do the walk in reverse instead, Coogee to Bondi Beach. Compared to Bondi, Coogee sees far lesser crowds.

How to get here

Buses are the best way to reach both beaches as finding parking can be a bit of challenge. Also the streets near these beaches are always crowded.

Best Time To Do Coogee to Bondi Coastal Walk

We did the hike in July which is officially winter in Australia. The temperature around this time was 18-19 C and was the perfect weather to hike as well as enjoy the views.There is a quite a bit of uphill and downhill climb so if you are planning the hike in summer, carry lots of water and sunscreen and be prepared to work up a sweat. The walk will last a good 2 hours. Reward yourself by hitting one of the amazing array of restaurants and cafe’s at Bondi after the hike.

Early mornings are the best to do this walk. This will give you the prefect opportunity to catch the legendary Bondi Sunrise.

Coastal Walk Route

Once you reach Coogee, this route on Google Maps can guide you all the way. There are a few gaps in the coastal walk, where you will have to hike through suburban areas until the coastal walk re-connects. Jogging on the coastal walk is epic and a local favourite. With the most amazing views, you will clock in more miles than usual.
