Clovelly Suburb Profile
Taking centre stage in this beautiful seaside location is Clovelly Beach. Between two rugged headlands, Clovelly Beach features a wonderful swimming area, with promenades and concrete platforms that provide easy access points into what is more like a large ocean pool than a beach. Popular amongst families, sunbathers, snorkelers, ocean swimmers, and a large Blue Groper nicknamed “Bluey,” Clovelly Beach has it all – from parklands for picnics to Seasalt Café to the historic surf lifesaving club that is part of the local culture and heritage.
Living in Clovelly offers residents a vibrant community where ocean swimmers, in particular the Clovelly Eskimos, can be found diving into the chilly waters during the winter months. The incredible views up and down the coastline can be enjoyed from Bundrock and Burrows Parks, which form part of the Coastal Walk, a trail along the coastline from Bondi Beach to Maroubra Beach. When they’re not out pounding the pavement or working on a tan, locals can be found at one of the cafés located along Clovelly Road further up the hill, truly embodying the charm of living in Clovelly.
