Coveted picnic spots, play areas for the kids and parklands dot the shoreline, barbeque facilities are free to the public and so is parking.

If you enjoy the nightlife and partying you'll love Coogee's Crowne Plaza, Coogee Palace and the Coogee Bay Hotels. While you're there, make sure you check out the live music and international bands that perform frequently at Selena's night club as well.
