15 Best Beaches in Sydney | Condé Nast Traveler

"At the mouth of a narrow bay, kooky Clovelly Beach combines a small beach with a skinny strip of water protected by two rocky ridges. Families adore the tranquil, sheltered strand, and snorkelers can't enough of the underwater action. Fringed by concrete promenades, Clovelly has the look of a stony Italian beach—minus the matching beach umbrellas. There's something for everyone here, from sandcastle-building kids to lovers of the life aquatic, including snorkelers and scuba divers. If you want surf or sweeping sands, though, look elsewhere." - Sophie Davies
