15 Best Beaches in Sydney | Condé Nast Traveler
"Maroubra’s name comes from the Aboriginal word for "like thunder," and its powerful waves have made this kilometer of sweeping golden sand a surfers’ paradise. The longest beach in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, it’s backed by verdant bush and has emerged as a true locals’ destination, with fewer tourists than Bondi. A National Surfing Reserve, Maroubra has reliable beach breaks with good swell. This is also a popular swimming beach that's patrolled year-round by lifeguards. Don’t miss Mahon Pool, a square rock pool hidden on the headland north of the beach." - Sophie Davies
