Along the way there are family beach destinations with BBQ areas, surf beaches, fishing spots, snorkelling, as well as the cafes and Bondi markets.

Throughout the year the area plays host to a number of special events. Occasions like the Festival of the Winds held in September, the Coogee Fair and the Sculptures by the Sea in October.

The area is also famous for its many seaside pools. A great example of this is the historic Wiley's Baths at the south end of Coogee, with its restored sun decks and seaside café. For those who require segregation, there is the women's only pool too.
