The more popular south coast beaches are centered around the iconic Bondi Beach. Filled with surfers and backpackers in the summer, this beach is lined up with hostels and pubs.
Jervis Bay, located three hours south of Sydney (200 km), has some of the whitest sand in the world. Yup, whiter than the Whitsunday Islands, the Maldives, the Caribbean, or any other exotic place you can think of.
The Bombo Quarry and Headlands just north of town are one of the most bizarre landscapes in Australia. Come during high tide when the waves are crashing against the massive rock formations.
There is a 3-4 hour (6 km) hike to the Figure 8 Pools at the south end from the Garrawarra Farm car park. The hike is a descent from the car park down to Burning Palms Beach.
The Wedding Cake Rock, or White Rock, is a famous rock/cliff that has now been fenced off due to erosion. The stacked rocks are pure white and have layers like a wedding cake.
