Melbourne to awesome Sydney beaches...

It was an awesome trip to Sydney beaches which are some of the cleanest and most abundant of any tourist area in the world. The pristine waters of the Pacific wash up on their shores every day, and the mild climate means there is always plenty of greenery around to detract from the heat of the sun reflected off sand and water.

There are plenty of famous beaches in NSW, Bondi, Manly and Coogee are well known around the world, while harbour beaches include Balmoral. There are hundreds of gorgeous beaches up and down the coast.

La Perouse is a beautiful beach, but in a very strange kind of way. The La Perouse peninsula is the far northern end of Botany Bay. The old military outpost at Bare Island is fascinating, and is somewhat the defining feature of the area. A great spot have not so much a swimming or snorkelling hole, but one to soak up the history of the area and enjoy the severe beauty of the area.

Sydney has an amazing variety of beaches - if you only make it to Manly, Cronulla and Bondi in your time in Sydney, you are definitely missing out!
