Tamarama Beach

Often referred to as Glamarama, Tamarama Beach is between two remarkable headlands between Bondi to Coogee Walk, with 80 m of shoreline. The beach and surrounding area are popular for recreational activities such as swimming, sunbaking and picnics for more than a century. The beach is also famous among the surfers because it produces strong currents and also has a Surf Club, located on the northern side. Owing to its strong waves, deep water and small size, Tamarama is generally not recommended for swimming even in a moderate ocean swell. While swimming here, the instructions of the surf life savers should not be ignored since a small swell can produce rip currents of up to 2 m/sec. You can relax at the nearby cafes, enjoy yourself in the playground or feast at the barbecue area. Initially, it was called Dixon Bay by early European settlers and the name was changed to Tamarama in the 1800s. It’s referred to as “Glamarama" by the locals since it is a beach that is generally visited by trend setters who come here to sunbathe or relax. Tamarama is represented in one of the most popular sporting competitions across Australia, the National Rugby League competition, by the local team the Sydney Roosters.
