Randwick

Check out Sydney's biggest park, just a stone's throw from Randwick town centre. With over 3.5 km of space around the park, you'll never run out of things to do. Whether you're into running, cycling, walking, picnicking, birdwatching, horseback riding, or even rollerblading, this park has got you covered. And if you've got a furry friend in tow, you'll both have a blast - it's one of the most pup-friendly parks in Sydney, with over 30% of the space designated for off-leash play.

In the heart of Randwick, you’ll find the popular local spot Page Two, serving delicious food and coffee. Head all the way into the back to discover their San Juan-inspired “hidden” garden – with a decorative interior and a roof completely made out of umbrellas in all different colours. You can expect to feel very welcomed by the cheerful and friendly staff while enjoying an all-day brunch menu with a variety of options. Our best recommendations include the Bruschetta Avocado Smash, the Spicy Seafood Pasta and the French Toast.

Head to Coogee Beach, one of Sydney's hot spots, in just a 15-minute walk or a quick 5-minute drive. This swimmer's paradise boasts natural and man-made rock pools, as well as a beautiful beach. If you're not into getting wet, you can take a scenic coastal walk north towards Bondi Beach or south towards Maroubra Beach. And when the sun sets, grab a drink at one of the beach bars or check out the popular restaurant and bar scene, like the Coogee Pavilion and Coogee Wine Room.
