One Hundred Beaches Sydney by Vincent Rommelaere and Amanda Woods

Dive into the beauty and variety of Sydney's beaches in a city where you can watch the sunrise over an endless ocean and the sunset behind the Opera House and Harbour Bridge with the sand between your toes.

From world-famous beaches including Bondi and Manly to hidden harbour gems, photographer Vincent Rommelaere and travel journalist Amanda Woods take you on a journey along the coastline and into the harbour.

One Hundred Beaches Sydney shares stories from world para-surfing champion Sam Bloom, the men behind Bondi Rescue, Ben Davies and Michael Cordell, Coastrek and Wild Women on Top founder Di Westaway OAM, First Nations lifesaver turned swimwear designer David Leslie, and the founder of OneWave, the non-profit surf community promoting mental health awareness, Grant Trebilco.

The perfect companion to the Rock Pools of Sydney book, One Hundred Beaches Sydney comes with a complimentary "Explorer Guide", an A3 map folded to A5 listing of all of the beaches along the coast with essential beach safety tips. It's your all-in-one package for exploring Sydney's iconic and hidden beaches.

Vincent Rommelaere has spent years photographing Sydney's beaches from the ground and in the air including helicopters over the harbour and countless drives up and down the coast. As well as publishing his favourite Sydney beach images in this 214-page book he also shares them through fine art prints, jigsaw puzzles and more on his site AustraliaUnseen.com. 

"The inspiration for this book goes back more than 15 years to my arrival in Sydney," Vincent says. “Initially, my friends and I would head to Bondi, but we quickly discovered that this city had so much more to offer. So, every weekend became a mission to explore the picturesque coastline and the hidden treasures of its harbour beaches. It's truly remarkable that there's only one place in the world where you can reside in a capital city and still have the luxury of choosing from over 100 beaches for a post-work swim."

With words by travel writer Amanda Woods, One Hundred Beaches Sydney will bring back memories of the beaches you know and love and inspire you to step out onto new sands along the Sydney coastline.
