03 Land, sea & From an amazing walk along the coast near Bondi Beach to sky kayaking past the Opera House and taking a seaplane to Palm Beach, these are the best ways to see Sydney on the ground, on the water and from on high.

Land On any given day, Sydney’s beautiful people are out pounding the stunning coastal track between two eastern suburbs beaches, Bondi and Bronte. They flock there because it’s one of the world’s most photogenic workouts: the 1.5-kilometre path passes along rugged headlands, goes up and down steep stairs and squeezes past Tamarama’s iconic Surf Life Saving Club. At Bronte, join the leather- tanned locals basking on an oceanfront bench or around the “bogey hole” — a pool formed by a ring of rocks near the ocean’s edge. If you want a more challenging walk, head to the Royal National Park (which was Australia’s first national park), about 35 kilometres south of the city, where you’ll find pretty rock pools aplenty. The picturesque Figure Eight Pools aren’t exactly easy to reach — the return hike can take up to three hours and the naturally formed pools in the coastal rock shelf are only safe at low tide — but visitors are drawn to the pools’ crystal-clear water and the precise outlines that inspired their name.
