From a swimming point of view Inner Harbour is the easiest to deal with, since there are only a few smaller beaches to consider. Water temperatures generally vary between 22-25C. More likely to attract and meet the requirements of visitors are the Eastern beaches such as the famous Bondi beach.
The water is generally between 20 -23C. Visiting and swimming in Sydney is a most rewarding activity!

Sydney is accessible by air from anywhere in the world. A large number of visitors also come by sea on cruise liners and the like. If you’re coming from elsewhere in Australia there are good rail services or you can drive there.
Dining out in Sydney is a really great experience whether you visit Chinatown or the more sedate Double Bay and when you’ve eaten your fill you can stroll back to Rose Bay and enjoy the wonderfully interesting shoreline and rocky outcrops.
Sydney is wonderful all year round but Spring and Autumn are especially good.
