[🇦🇺] Midsummer Christmas in Australia #1 Clovelly Beach, Bronte Beach
Hello!!
I'm Bobusang, a travel enthusiast.
This post is about my most recent trip to Australia, where I spent a warm Christmas!!!
I spent my first summer Christmas there, and it was such a happy and healing trip, I'm here to share it with you.
Every time I talk about my travels, I have so much to say, but I struggle to figure out what to talk about.
This time, I'd like to share a unique experience: swimming in the ocean in winter!
We visited Clovelly Beach and Bronte Beach, both about 40 minutes away from downtown Sydney by public transportation!
There's a coastal path called the Coastal Walk, which stretches from Coogee Beach to Bondi Beach.
We visited Clovelly Beach and Bronte Beach. 🙂↕️🙂↕️
The weather was clear and sunny when we left, but the clouds gradually gathered, and a light drizzle finally fell in Bronte. Still, we enjoyed swimming in the ocean to our heart's content, and it was a wonderful experience!
Clovelly Beach is unique in that it has a path running along both sides, with a beach in the middle.
I was thrilled to see people freely diving into the water from both sides (there were signs saying no diving, haha).
However, when I actually went in, the rocks were quite sharp, so I didn't dive because it seemed dangerous!!! Hidden treasures are precious!!!
And because the rocks were so sharp, wearing Crocs was a very wise decision.
With my snorkeling gear on, I saw quite a few fish. The ocean was so beautiful and satisfying :3
After taking a nap at Clovelly and enjoying my favorite part of the day, I headed to the beach.
You can walk to Bronte Beach in 20-30 minutes, or you can rent a shared bike!
However, we had to stop by a pizza place to eat, so we had to walk back a bit, which was a bit of a hassle. Haha.
After filling our bellies with pizza, we headed off for the second round of ocean swimming. 🏊♀️🏊🏼♂️
With dark clouds gathering and the wind picking up, the waves were the strongest I've ever experienced... ㄷㄷ
Thanks to that, we had a blast in the natural wave pool, which was incomparable to the artificial waves at the water park.
I fell over a few times in the incredibly strong waves, but that's part of the fun. I got up right away and jumped back into the ocean again... Even thinking about it now, it was so much fun... ㅠ I want to go again... slurp.
The pool at Clovellych was covered in algae and didn't look appealing, but the pool at Bronte Beach was clean and deep, so we swam there again!
After a day of swimming, I was sad to leave, so I lay down on the beach and sunbathe in the barely glaring sunlight. Then, a few drops of rain fell and we had to leave. ㅜㅜ
I should've come even earlier, even if it meant cutting down on my morning sleep. 🥹
Still, I had a blast playing in the ocean.
And maybe because it was Christmas, I saw some people wearing Santa hats or headbands. They were so cute, I wanted to bite them.
Swimming in the ocean during Christmas in the summer? This place is heaven. ㅠㅠ
I can't forget this experience and will go swimming in the ocean again in Australia. I'll take a bunch of photos to show off next time. 😗
Australia is so fun and warm, and Christmas is the epitome of happiness, healing, and all the good things... I want to go again and recommend it to everyone.
