Tamarama, often dubbed "Glamarama" for its laid-back yet trendy vibe, is the quieter, more refined neighbour to the bustling Bondi. Nestled between the iconic Bondi Beach and the serene Bronte Park, Tamarama is a hidden gem that offers coastal living, natural beauty, and a sense of community. Here are a few of my favourite things about living in Tamarama:

Tamarama Beach is, of course, the standout feature of this suburb. Known for its stunning natural beauty, it’s the perfect spot for a swim, a sunbake, or a peaceful walk along the coastal path. With fewer crowds than Bondi, it’s a fantastic escape where you can enjoy the beach in relative tranquility, but still soak up the incredible coastal views.

Local cafes like Marcelo's cafe and gallery offer delicious brunch options with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re grabbing a coffee before your morning swim or enjoying a leisurely breakfast with friends, the café scene here has a lovely, local feel, and it’s always nice to enjoy the breeze from the nearby ocean.

The streets of Tamarama are a mix of charming beach houses and contemporary architectural gems. The neighbourhood has a relaxed, almost bohemian atmosphere, and its proximity to both the beach and beautiful parks makes it an ideal place for outdoor lovers. The local parks, including Marks Park, are great for a picnic, a game of frisbee, or simply enjoying the sunsets over the ocean.

Tamarama’s laid-back, chic vibe is perfect for those seeking a peaceful coastal escape, while still being close to Bondi and the buzz of the Eastern Suburbs. With its stunning beach, local cafés, and relaxed lifestyle, Tamarama offers the perfect balance of serenity and sophistication. Whether you're looking for a weekend getaway spot or a permanent residence, Tamarama has a unique charm that makes it one of Sydney’s best-kept secrets.
