South Coogee suburb profile
Located approximately 8km south east of the CBD, the beachside suburb of South Coogee is found at the boutique southern end of the well-known Coogee Beach, famous for its promenade and golden sand.
South Coogee is home to the recently refurbished Wylies Baths, a popular family destination built in 1907 on the sandstone cliff face. Further north along the coast you’ll find baths exclusively for women and children exclusively. The coastal walk is also a drawcard, winding through coastal reserve, including the expansive Trenerry Reserve, which provides a great location for picnicking.
A number of charming cafes are found around South Coogee, which has a lovely community feel. Alternatively take the short walk to Coogee Bay Road and the main beachfront drag of Arden Street which are home to an array of eateries, takeaway shops and specialty stores catering to the beach going crowds.
The Coogee area is one of the earlier residential settlements in Sydney’s south east, settled as a coastal getaway from the city back in the 1830s. A tram service was added in the early 1900s and the famous Coogee Aquarium, sadly no longer around, was built in 1929.
A popular tourist destination as well as a sought-after residential address, Coogee still retains examples of classic architecture from the Victorian, Federation and Art Deco eras, giving it its distinct charm. Many original buildings however have made way for newer boutique apartment buildings and a few beachfront high rises.
Back in the 1980s the council undertook a significant reinvention of the promenade area, enhancing its aesthetic appeal. The Coogee Bay Hotel is a prominent landmark, with its live music venue, Selina’s, showcasing many successful Aussie bands during their formative years.
South Coogee is well serviced by buses taking you to various parts of Sydney, including the University of NSW, Sydney University and the Royal Hospital for Women, as well as the CBD. For sightseers, the Bay & Bondi Explorer takes you from the city via Bondi to Coogee. For all transport details in the area, visit the transport infoline website www.131500.com.au or phone 131 500.
