Beaches · Theaters · Hiking Trails

Mostly sandy and near sprawling urban centers, New South Wales beaches dot the region's Pacific coastline. Immense in size, Sydney's Bondi Beach is one of the most recognizable stretches of sand in the world, while Manly Beach boasts everything from nightclubs and trendy stores to surfing, windsurfing, and parasailing operators. For a more peaceful experience, head to Balmoral Beach in Greater Sydney. Many windy beaches in the region, such as Nobbys Beach in Newcastle and Sydney's South Cronulla Beach, offer ideal conditions for advanced-level surfing, while surf schools cater to eager beginners.
