| Considered one of Sydney’s best surfing beaches. The legend even says the whole Australian surf culture started here early in 1900s. The tradition was preserved and even helped young men to avoid being recruited for the Second World War by floating out for hours while recruitment officers were in the area. The surf culture is still strong today, supported by surf life-saving clubs. |

Maroubra Beach will always be the beach to which I`ll return. It`s where I`ve taken my daughter and my son, to show them where I quietly spent my teenage years. It was the Maroubra Seals Club where we ex-Maroubra Bay High School students, celebrated such a great reunion, overlooking "our beach", in November, 2003!
As an assessor for the Keep Australia Beautiful Clean Beach Challenge, sadly, I could not recommend it for the awards, as I had to rely on the information that was presented to me. Nevertheless, Maroubra Beach HAD already been recognised in previous years. I wish it well and hope that this year, (2008) it will be entered again and presented in its best light! It remains the beach where I spent so many relaxed, happy hours, in my "Dobie Gillis years".

I went to Maroubra Bay High School 1975-76 and remember the bindi-eyes in my feet taking the shortcut down the hill from the south side; the way the storms completely took away the calmer north side one year, leaving only rocks where I saw my first blueringed octopus; hanging with the girls all day long while they watched their boyfriends surf and thinking how a decent boyfriend would really be sitting by them and not spending all day on his board; trying to get in, underaged, into the Seal`s Club - our big mission every weekend; the shaggin` wagons bouncing up and down lined up along the cliffside at night; the area looking kind of scraggy and run down, light years from groovy Bondi but still the best beach in town!

I went there recently last year and I liked it well enough. It has a nice walking path, with good views of the ocean hitting cliffs. It is probably more a place to walk and catch some sea breeze than actually hang out at the beech, but it depends on your disposition...just like everything. :)

I grew up in Maroubra, went to Maroubra Bay High school, and can still remember catching the bus home from the beach on scorching hot summer days, only to want to go back to the beach as soon as I got off the bus. Maroubra Beach was one of the best beaches back in the 70`s and 80`s, but the developers have ruined what was once a beautiful beach. I know that we have to move with the times, but can`t they just leave a little nostalgia with every development. I visited again last year, and was sorely dissapointed, I took my fiver year old daughter there and all she wanted to do was go to the rock pool, because the beach was to commercial and there was no where to park, and when you did find one, you had to fight to get it. McKeon St used to be the place to get fish and chips, scallops and tomato sauce, and now it costs $7 for a hamburger, if you want to develop it so much, at least put in a Macdonalds and make it affordable for the people to visit the beach.
