American style burgers and fried chicken place that was the start of Sydney's burger craze. It's dark with loud music - it has cool ambience but isn't great if you want to have a big chat.

My favourite ice cream in Sydney. They serve Turkish dondurma which is a bit different to the gelato in Sydney - my favourite flavours are their baklava and strawberry.

Parks & Nature
My favourite beach to hang out at in Sydney. Neilsen is a harbour beach that is more secluded and out of the way so it away from most of the crowds and is surrounded by bushland on either side.
Because Neilsen Park is on the harbour it's best to avoid it for a couple of days after heavy rain.

The Bondi to Bronte is a must for anyone visiting Sydney. It's a pretty mild walk with a few stairs - you can walk the whole way from Coogee to Bondi if you're up for a bigger walk. I always recommend that you start at either Coogee or Bronte and finish up at Bondi - the view around the headland at South Bondi really is stunning,

A beautiful, little known beach near Manly. The beach is only accessible by foot or boat so is quite secluded - although I have seen a boat selling ice creams visit the beach. I recommend avoiding swimming in the days after heavy rainfall, however if it has been raining a waterfall will usually appear.

Sightseeing
The Manly Ferry is the best way to see Sydney Harbour Bridge an Opera House. Catch the ferry to Manly and sit outside at the front of the boat and enjoy. There are often many tourists on the ferry but that's for good reason - this is a must do!

Historic area where you can get a glimpse of colonial Sydney. I would recommend exploring the area, grabbing a drink in one of the old pubs and - if it's a weekend - browsing the Rocks Markets. I would personally avoid eating in most of the places in the Rocks as they can be super touristy.

Take your swimmers and a towel and enjoy. I prefer to swim at the north end of the beach (the left hand side if you're standing on the sand facing the ocean) as there's less tourists and the water is calmer. Don't forget to swim between the flags!
