Maroubra is a suburb of Randwick City Council and a surfing beach in the east of Sydney. Its name is an aboriginal word that means “like thunder.” Hence, it is known as the “place of thunder.” It is a popular destination for basking in the sun, surfing, and taking leisurely strolls. It became a settlement in 1861 and is now a dazzling suburb and beautiful beach that attracts surfers from all over the world. Its waves are powerful and challenging. However, they can be dangerous. If you are planning to swim here, be sure to stay between flags. There are surf lifesaving clubs that patrol the area, so it is best to swim during these times.
