Best places to visit once you’ve sorted your caravan hire in SydneyNorthern Beaches
The Northern Beaches, located just a short drive north of Sydney, is a stunning coastal region known for its pristine beaches, relaxed atmosphere, and natural beauty. Stretching from Manly to Palm Beach, this area offers visitors a perfect escape from the bustling city, with scenic coastline, vibrant beachside cafes, and plenty of outdoor activities. From surfing the waves at Freshwater Beach to hiking through Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, there's something for everyone. Its laid-back charm and picturesque landscapes make the Northern Beaches an ideal destination for a day trip or weekend getaway from Sydney.
Royal National Park
Located on Sydney’s southern edge, the Royal National Park was established in 1879 and is the second-oldest national park in the world. The Royal Coast Track takes hikers along deserted beaches and dramatic cliff tops, with North Era campsite, Burning Palms and Wattamolla – with its lagoon and waterfall – being the main highlights. Bonnie Vale Campground provides the easiest access to the park.
Bondi Beach
Is this the most famous stretch of sand in the world? We sure like to think so. Cruise down to Bondi and you’ll see the latest crop of international backpackers sharing space with A-list celebrities. It’s a real melting pot here, with everyone welcome as long as they promise to swim between the flags. Be sure to check out Bondi Icebergs and tackle the coastal walk to Coogee, which also takes in Bronte, Clovelly and Tamarama beaches.
The Rocks
Considered the birthplace of modern Sydney, The Rocks is all laneways and history in the shadow of the Harbour Bridge. Australia’s oldest pubs are here, as are weekly markets and boutique art galleries. For a quintessential Sydney experience, opt to climb the Harbour Bridge, or if heights aren’t your thing, walk across the bridge to Milsons Point instead and catch the ferry back.
The Inner West
Playing host to suburbs including Glebe, Newtown, Annandale, Marrickville and Stanmore, Sydney’s Inner West is a hive of hipster activity and a mecca for lovers of craft beer, live music, and arts and culture. There’s a great vibe any day of the week, courtesy of Sydney University’s students, and fresh air can be found down by Balmain’s waterfront, easily reached by ferry, or along the Bay Walk.
