Arthur Byrne Reserve is a popular spot for fitness buffs and families alike – where some of the finest abs and tan lines are on show. Further north is Mistral Point, a rugged reserve with incredible views of the eastern coastline, and home to the popular salt water Mahon Pool.
Away from the coastline, Maroubra has restaurants that bring their own twist to the local scene. McKeon Street has some of the area’s most well-known restaurants, South Maroubra Shopping Village is located next to the renowned Sands Hotel, whilst Maroubra Junction is situated on Anzac Parade, one of the main arteries in and out of the area. The Des Renford Aquatic Centre has indoor and outdoor pools, tennis courts, sporting fields, parklands and a 2-kilometre cycle track.
It’s no wonder Maroubra has been drawing attention away from its northern neighbours.
