Top Water Activities in Sydney

Don’t forget to wear plenty of sunscreen, even on cloudy days. I learned that the hard way after getting sunburned during my visit!

Bring your own snacks and drinks to save some cash. Food at the beach can be pricey, and you’ll want to enjoy lunch without breaking the bank.

I suggest taking the scenic ferry, but book your ticket in advance. The views are worth every penny, and you also save time compared to driving.

Try to arrive before 10 AM for a quieter beach experience and snag a good spot. The later it gets, the busier it becomes!

I found that the best fish and chips are at a little place called 'The Boathouse'—grab a picnic, and enjoy it on the beach!

If you're renting surfboards, check out the local shops instead of the overpriced ones at the beach. I saved a bunch and still got good gear!

Bring your own snacks and drinks to save some cash. The beach cafes can be pricey. I spent way too much on a quick lunch when I could've enjoyed my own snacks on the sand instead.

Don’t forget to explore the North Palm Beach rock pool if you’re looking for a quieter swim. It was a hidden gem during my visit, and honestly, way less crowded than the main beach. Perfect for families!
