Coast Walk Clovelly to Maroubra
Within Randwick City Council this clearly signposted and spectacular walk sinuously hugs the coastline from Clovelly Beach in the North to Maroubra Beach at the Southern end. Start your walk at Waverley Cemetery; wander through Clovelly Beach, down into Gordon's Bay and onto Coogee Beach. Continue the walk to Maroubra Beach via Grant Reserve, Trenery Reserve and Lurline Bay. If it is high tide, or you are not into rock hopping, you will have to skip Lurline Bay and take short detour from the coast and use the local roads. You can pick up the trail again at Marine Parade and continue down onto Maroubra Beach. If your up to it you can then continue all the way to La Perouse (only for the fit). Where you can refuel and recover while enjoying the delightful ambience of your choice of the side-walk cafe's. The La Perouse walk passes through several parks and reserves as well as encompassing the city's beaches.
