I recently read “Summer Romance” by Annabel Monaghan and loved the concept of a “champagne summer” where you really acknowledge the first day and speak what you want out of summer aloud. We did that on the first day of summer here in Sydney (December 1st) and made a list of all we want to do, essentially a Sydney Summer Bucket List.
A lot of the list is free activities and about spending time outside, not all of it is Sydney specific, but a few good Sydney spots are included. I am really wanting to make the most of this Sydney summer and thought I would share with you if you’re wanting some summer inspiration too.
If you do any of these activities, feel free to tag me in your adventures @marathonerdale
Some of our list:
- Snorkel with seals
- Go kayaking
- Play tennis
- Dinner on the patio
- Go out for oysters
- Cheese board dinner
- Curl Curl run & ocean dip
- Figure 8 pool
- Shelly Beach snorkel
- Farmers market
- Eat at the Doyle’s (Watson’s Bay)
- Outdoor game night
- Mona Vale brewery
- Visit Palm Beach
- Sydney Harbour boat day
- Coffee at Manly Boatshed
- Make smores
- Walk to get an iced matcha
- Outdoor music festival
- Pizza picnic
- Play spike ball
- Have a little sunset photoshoot
- Try a new brunch spot
This is about half of our list. I also recommend writing a physical list you can check off as you go throughout the summer (I put ours up on our refrigerator). If you want the second half of the list (20 more ideas!), drop your email here and it will be sent to you.
Happy Sydney summer. 🙂
Love these ideas so much… gives me a little list to help me plan my travels when I visit next summer eeek!
