Location & Overview
Just 10 kilometres from the CBD, Maroubra is home to one of Australia's top surfing beaches where surf and turf reign supreme. Named a National Surfing Reserve in 2008, Maroubra's waves cruise up along a one-kilometre-long stretch at Maroubra Beach, the longest beach in the eastern suburbs.
Traditional & History
The traditional owners of the land are the Gadigal and Bidjigal people. Maroubra is a local Aboriginal word meaning place of thunder, referencing the crashing waves for which the suburb is famous.
Housing
Maroubra's streetscape is a mix of convenient shops, renowned eateries and an array of properties that match the suburb's beachy disposition. You'll find yourself spoiled for choice with Federation bungalows, stunning coastal homes, brick, and veneer houses and 1970s blocks. Beautifully renovated family homes and apartments sit alongside renovators' dreams waiting to be snapped up.
Recreation and Amenities
The spectacular Eastern Beaches Costal walkway through the rugged Malabar Headland National Park to Malabar Beach offers incredible coastal views. Jack Vanny Reserve is on the northern headland. Follow the steps down to delightful Mahon Pool, a popular rock pool where you can swim in a spectacular setting
Dining and Entertainment
Adjacent to the beach is the beautifully restored, family-friendly The Bay Hotel & Diner, built in the 1920s, serving up delicious pub style food. There's also the Maroubra Seals for a relaxed bistro-style meal. The Pavilion Beachfront is located on the beach promenade itself, offering an extensive breakfast and lunch menu, along with premium ocean views.
