Lonely Planet review for Coogee Beach

Bondi without the glitz and the posers, Coogee (locals pronounce the double o as in the word ‘took’) has a deep sweep of sand, historic ocean baths and plenty of green space for barbecues and frisbee hurling. Offshore, compromising the surf here a little, is the craggy, wave-battered Wedding Cake Island, immortalised in Midnight Oil’s 1980 surf-guitar instrumental of the same name. Between world wars, Coogee had an English-style pier, with a 1400-seat theatre and a 600-seat ballroom…until the surf took it.
