Tamarama Beach is often referred to as "Glamourama",
owing to the alleged abundance of glamorous people who sunbathe, on what must
be one of the smallest strips of sand in the state. This small beach is located
between two prominent headlands, with a sand filled valley to the back, surrounded
by pleasant parkland and picnic areas. Tamarama is an extremely narrow beach and
deceptive for its size. Tamarama Surf Club is located on the northern side, perched
up on the headland where it overlooks the entire beach.

Surfing and Swimming | Tamarama
holds two further distinctions of merit for the number of swimmer rescues carried
out here and the height of the waves. Take extreme caution when swimming
at Tamarama Beach. Inexperienced bathers could be fooled into thinking that it
is safe to swim at this small beach, but this is far from the truth. While only
80m long, Tamarama has a great wave climate. As a result, one or two rip currents
are always present, making the entire surf zone virtually all rip. Tamarama is
considered the most dangerous patrolled beach in New South Wales, with more rescues
per thousand bathers than any other of Sydney's beaches.
When the swell
really rolls in, an offshore rock shelf shapes a stunning 12 to 15 foot wave that
draws committed board-riders, photographers and onlookers, taking in the grand
spectacle from the cliffs above. | | |

Shorter words and slang | | This tiny
beach is nestled between Bondi and Bronte and is patronised almost exclusively
by Sydney's beautiful people. While the surf can be dangerous and prone to rips,
Tamarama is a haven for serious sunbathing as well as celebrity watching. The
beachfront cafe has a well-deserved reputation and the park behind the beach offers
picnic tables and barbecue facilities. Three inspectors patrol the beach daily
between October and May (9am-7pm) and volunteer lifesavers are also on duty at
the weekend and public holidays (Summer only). Very limited car parking. |
