Really easy beach to get to. The 373/374 bus will take you straight there or you can get the Tram to Randwick and bus/walk down the hill. Snorkle at the north end or start the walk to Bondi and if the waves are too rough, try the Ocean pool. Walk further south and you will hit Wylie's Baths:- a paid for Ocean pool with it's own resident (friendly) Octopus.
