"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

One of my favourite spots in Sydney. It’s so easy to get here, plenty of parking, huge area, open ocean, amazing scenery, they have enough eateries, amenities. It’s a great combination of pristine nature, the ocean and modern life. I love Maroubra ❤️🛬🌊🌊🌊🌊

Super nice beach. Spacious, quiet, sand is soft. Good for surfing. 3 minutes drive to the swimming pool (sea water pool) Have parking just nearby. Children playground. Many nice view restaurants surrounding. And there is a cafe just located next to the beach with extremely relaxing vibe and good coffee!

Brilliant beach. I actually loved it more than popular Bondi beach. The waves are great, wider opening and good amenities.

Maroubra Beach is stunning, especially at sunrise! The view is incredible and peaceful. Just a tip: use insect repellent to avoid getting bitten by mosquitoes. A perfect spot for an early morning visit!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A beautiful and memorable sunrise experience at Maroubra Beach. I visited at 6:45 am to catch the sunrise, and it was absolutely worth it. The cool morning breeze, coffee in hand, and sitting by the rocks listening to the waves created a peaceful and unforgettable moment. It was great to share the experience with others who gathered along the beach to enjoy the view. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a serene start to the day.

I love this beach! It has so many different areas to swim from every level - from shallow natural rock pools for kids and those who don't like waves to multiple amazing surf spots. When the water is too cold to swim, I enjoy just sitting on the beach and painting nails, or climbing rocks just for fun. Also, Maroubra beach is an great location for stunning photos!

My favourite beach! This beach has it all! It's not as busy as Bondi or Coogee, and yet has great surfing and swimming along a deep, wide handy beach and an amazing Rock Pool for laps and meditation. Change rooms are clean and safe and the Mahon Rock Pool is just magical! Flushed daily by the tides and the surf, locals enjoy morning laps or sunset floats! The beachfront cafea and restaurants are lively and a good value, clean and delicious!

Beautiful beach. Good place for meeting with friends. There are cafes and restaurants with variety of food. Great chicken shop and ice cream.

Beautiful beach, especially if you can make it during the week. I was one of 5 people on a Friday! Waves are hit or miss, so it's a nice chill beach, not a great surfing one. I did see some on Saturday, but it seemed more like training waves, so don't worry!

Disney on Ice- This picturesque beach in Sydney's Eastern suburbs. A hub for surfing, beach sports, and- apparently, Disney Princesses. Even on cold winter days, you'll never fail to find an interesting character wandering the sand or the promenade. On one rainy late night, a certain Disney princess decided to crawl out of her moss-laced, concrete castle (the stormwater drain towards the northern end of the beach) to soak in the midnight sun after a firm session of amphetamine indulgence. Snow White (a fitting name for many reasons) stumbled towards the promenade, making her bi-daily migration to escape the rising tides. I happened to catch sight of her in quite a state; her rosy cheeks replaced by flaking, scarred skin, and her delicate jawline coated in a patchy grey beard. Snorting a line off her hand, she approached a bin. She rolled up her soggy dress sleeves, "Fucking cockroaches!" She grumbled in a gravelly baritone, as she rummaged her delicately wrinkled hands through the bin bag. "Stop eating my dinner!" She gracefully trembled away with a half-eaten apple (at least she has a healthy diet), lit up a pipe, and heaved her bones into the shallow darkness of a nearby park. Deeper and deeper, she disappeared out of view... as mysteriously as she came into it. There are many more stories of this place that I am not willing to tell. 5 stars- I haven't been stabbed yet.

Best beach in Sydney. It's a huge beach with a fraction of the crowd of Bondi and Coogee. A hand full of cafes to choose from, a nice pub with good food and a place called Beverage Depot that I always get my coffee from. A couple Thai places, couple burger joints, couple pizza places and a fish n chips. Considering you don't have to pay for parking and even on the busiest days it's chill compared to the other beaches, I don't see why more people don't come to Maroubra on weekdays.

One of the largest, yet least commercially developed beaches in Sydney. And the locals like to keep it this way. There are some rumours of surf gangs trawling this area, but it's probably still safe enough. Just steer clear of anyone who seems to be working age yet has time to sit around and watch the beach from his car. Very popular with surfers as it is one of the more windy beaches. There are beachvolleyball courts but you may only use them if you passed a 6 week course. There are also free BBQs available.

One of the nicest and least crowded beach in Sydney. Its like a smaller version of Bondi beach minus the crowd. I live close by around 5 minutes walk and I love coming here on a nice sunny day. Its just peaceful and tranquil. The wave is also pretty safe for the kids. Not as rough ad Bronte. I would recommend this beach to anyone especially family with kids. I come here almost everyday during spring and summer. And usually in the afternoon in fall. Also, theres a really nice bar if you want to grab some food.

I love Maroubra. It's a long, big, beautiful beach, much like Bondi, but without all the posers, tourists, traffic or parking hassles... SHHHH!!! Don't tell anybody! I come here in the middle of the day because I can just cruise up Gardener's Road with no hassles and find a parking spot in under 15 minutes, and guess what? You can stay for 4 hours... FOR FREE!!! No parking meters. Park 5 minutes walk away and you don't even have a time limit. I also love it cause it feels like its not even in Sydney. It could be down the coast near Wollongong. Or maybe like Bondi in the 80s! Its so underdeveloped, but that is all of its charm. It does have cafes and fish and chips shops, of course, and the old RSL... but not much else. Its very, very unpretentious. And sometimes that's exactly what you need. I can't fault it!

Had the whole beach to myself cause I went in May, where the weather was starting to get slightly colder. Clean beach, good facilities, great waves, & easy to get to with public transport.

My Favourite Beach in Sydney! Has a very chilled and relaxed vibe. Not crowded. Some of the best waves for surfers! Variety of cafes and juice bars. Anything you need for a perfect beach day.
