Sydney is widely regarded - especially by Sydneysiders! - as having one of the worlds most inviting, enticing, picturesque and fun collection of urban beaches. In this successor to Sydneys Best Picnic Spots & Beaches, local author and beach fanatic Catherine Proctor and Woodslanes outdoor guides series editor Andrew Swaffer have teamed up to survey the hundreds of beaches and swimming enclosures in the Sydney region. The very best 100 or so beaches are presented in this new guide, illustrated in full colour with vibrant photography, orientation maps and detailed maps for the larger beaches. The guide includes Information on location access (including by public transport), parking, facilities - including toilets and BBQs - the local environment, views, popularity, suitability for children, swimming, surfing and snorkelling, cafes and kiosks. Salt water swimming enclosures (whether netted, rock or concrete) are also detailed, including the best of those with no associated beach. Sydneys Best Beaches & Rock Baths will be a must-have guide for any Sydneysider looking to venture beyond the sands of their favourite local beach. Guide coverage is from Palm Beach to the Royal National Park.
Andrew Swaffer has worked in publishing for over 20 years, several of these writing for the Footprint series of travel guides (co-authoring two Australian guides with Katrina OBrien), and now works for local Sydney publisher Woodslane Press. His love of the outdoors led him to develop this new series of Woodslane outdoor guides. Catherine Proctor is a freelance author and editor who has lived on Sydney's Northern Beaches for over 20 years. She is the author of several books and is co-author of two other books for Woodslane: Sydney's Best Picnic Spots, Parks & Reserves and Sydney's Best Beaches & Rock Baths. Catherine took up the challenge of writing this book while simultaneously recruiting an essential new part of the family to help' with research!
