Atmosphere:
Maroubra Beach is the often overlooked masterpiece of Sydney's surf beaches. Open to the great Pacific Ocean it receives the full strength of its waves, especially when the sets arrive with power, driven by an east or north-easterly swell. The beach itself stretches approximately a kilometre in length between the arms of a wide bay with a picturesque green, rocky, heath and grass-covered peninsula at the south end and a line of splendid, mysterious, rocky cliffs stretching away into the distance at the north end.
Additional Info:
* Awesome beach. Many breaks. Beach is 1km long!
* Free parking for up to 4 hours.
* Watch out for blue bottles in the summer months
