A hidden gem in Coogee

Wylie’s Baths, Coogee

There is a hidden treasure nestled along the coastline of Coogee, overlooking the famous Wedding Cake Island, with 180 degree views of the Pacific Ocean. Wylie’s Baths, the first communal bath in Sydney, boasts a 50 yard long pool, three outdoor decks and a marque seating up to 150 guests. This heritage listed site is built on a natural rock ledge on the southern end of Coogee Bay and is one of the most unique venues in Sydney!

And I’ve been lucky enough to have worked closely with Wylie’s for a long time – it’s one of our favourite seaside venues. It really is the most unique spot, and being fortunate enough to be a preferred supplier, we’ve created so many fabulous weddings and events for our clients over the years.

Whilst it’s set in one of Sydney’s most popular suburbs, not many people are aware of it, but I think it’s a place everyone should see and enjoy! So why not head over there this weekend, and whilst you are checking out this gem, do your part for the environment and take part in the Great Easter Urchin Hunt all Easter long weekend. Children will learn how to safely remove sea urchins from the pool, and return them into the ocean. For every sea urchin they find, they’ll score a delicious chocolatey egg!
