One of the rituals of life in Sydney - living close to sparkling water, and clean beaches - is the family trip to the sun'n'sand each weekend. We have already had a number of days over 30C, and more are promised, or threatened! The Northbridge Baths are about a 10 minute drive, and nestle on Middle Harbour. As the warm weather really gets into the swing, it is best to arrive at our favourite beach spots - Northbridge Baths, and Clontarf Reserve - before 830am, and leave before midday. This way we beat the parking hassles, the traffic hassles, the crowd hassles, and the heat hassles. And we reckon the coffee is better earlier at Clonnys. |

Any swimming? hahahahaha
At the rate we are going, swimming will be outlawed by Christmas!
Hi Julie, welcome back!
Enjoy your beach time. Here, I can hardly wait for winter.
Thanks, Dina. Been a warm summer, perchance?
Being a country kid it was the swimming pool for me after one of those ubiquitous Memorial Swimming pools was built in the town. I have never quite aligned to the beach. It always seems too blowy to me and the water south of the Qld border too cold anyway.
So no matter how close I live to the beach I mostly give it a miss. A nice place for an ice cream or coffee occasionally. The parking is a real put off in its own right. I agree with you on that.
