neither of us are beach people. we love the ocean, the sound of the waves, the breeze off the water, and relaxing in the sun. but the process of packing up a car, driving an hour or more to some crowded beach, and sunbathing in the sand all day, just really isn't our cup of tea. sure it's fun to do it once in a while, and it's definitely something you have to do during a new england summer. but unlike many, we can't do it every weekend.
sydney offers something a little different. here, we can go to the beach without actually going to the beach. almost all of the beaches have a grassy park behind the sand, they have little cafe kiosks offering more than fried food and ice cream, and they usually have a row of shops and restaurants nearby. plus, you have the added entertainment of watching the surfers. but the best thing is...all the beaches are within a twenty minute bus ride, which eliminates the sense of commitment that comes with a day at the beach in new england. and to top it all off, sydney's beaches are breathtakingly beautiful.
