One of the suburb’s most notable historical events was the shipwreck of a vessel called Hereward. The wreck was left on the beach for years, earning one of Maroubra’s streets the name Hereward Street.
Perhaps none of the suburb’s attractions stands out as Maroubra Beach does. This famous beach stands out because it is not only easy to access but also a large beach whose expanse makes it a popular destination for holidaymakers. This beach is popular with surfers, thanks to the regular high swells and excellent wave conditions. Note, however, that Maroubra Beach can be dangerous for swimmers – swimmers are advised to swim during patrol hours and to do so within the flagged areas.
Away from water adventures, the beach also features an outdoor gym, a skating park, and a beautiful playground for children. Amenities available at the beach include a changing room, outdoor showers, free BBQs, and ample parking space.
Surf classes are nearby, so take on a new hobby and learn how to surf. If you love nature walks, you will undoubtedly enjoy the Coogee to Maroubra Walk, which allows you to soak in the sights and sounds of both localities.
A day well spent at Maroubra is incomplete without great food. Treat your palate to an array of cuisines for an unforgettable experience. These range from tapas at El Toro Tapas and Pizza Bar to pizza at Arthur’s and the most exquisite Japanese meals at Kokoroya Japanese Sushi Dining.
