| 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. |

I lived around the corner from Maroubra beach in Bond St from birth till the age of 15. My memories will last for ever. My dad taught me how to surf by taking me down to the beach told me to hang on to his neck while he dived under some huge waves and at the peak of the biggest wave I have seen flung me onto the wave. I rode it to the shore. What a buzz! I still love to bodysurf.
My friends and I used to clamber over the rocks on the north end of the beach barefoot of course. We found a wonderful rock pool called "eggie", because of its shape. It was always clean and very deep in the centre. We had great fun in that pool.
I think Maroubra beach is by far the best beach in the east.

I remember Maroubra Beach as the most wonderful. I live there on Bond St. for 6 years. 68-74. If it rained on the weekend my dad would let me stay home from school on Monday. Every Wednesday we would go to the seaside pool for sport. Some times the waves were so huge they would almost push you out of the pool. I want to come to visit.

maroubra beach conjures many a good memory for me.I now live in melbourne but often reflect on my time growing up in the 70`s at the beach.Every weekend head to "our" spot on the concrete promenade to be with the gang"craig,anne,sandra,etc". i can still smell the cocunut oil and see the early saturday morning sunlight reflecting of the aqua green waves and taste that chiko roll from the local fish and chip shop.

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!
