After Bondi Beach, Coogee is probably the most popular of the so-called City beaches that face onto the Pacific Ocean and back on to Sydney's Eastern Suburbs.

• Beach activities

Coogee is host to the home ground of Randwick Rugby Union Club, one of the main teams in the Sydney rugby union football competition. Alternate weekends see Randwick and an opposing team battle it out on Coogee Oval, just over the road from the beach - a great way to spend a winter afternoon!
