The Best Beachfront Venues to Visit in Sydney to Make the Most of Summer
In Sydney, we're lucky — it's pretty balmy all year round, and we have hundreds (thousands?) of waterfront spots to drink and dine in. So, enjoy another summer brunch, spritz or bowl of fresh seafood spaghetti at these beachfront venues. And, if it does rain, all these spots have undercover areas where you can still enjoy the views.
