Getting there:

Please aim to arrive 15 minutes prior to your ceremony (along with your guests) to ensure you are in the right location and ready to go at your scheduled time.

Private Car: There is metered street parking along Beach St, Carr St and surrounding streets, though spots fill quickly on weekends and sunny days, so allow extra time or consider a park-and-walk option nearby.
Public Bus: Several bus routes run from the city and Randwick directly to Coogee Beach, stopping just a short walk from the clubhouse.
Walking: If you're coming from Bondi or Bronte, the coastal walk finishes right at Coogee Beach, making for a scenic and memorable arrival.
Rideshare or Taxi: Rideshare services can drop guests right at the beachfront, which is often the easiest option on busy days when parking is limited.

Wet weather:

Now it doesn't happen often, but when it does you will need to shelter under trees or bring umbrellas - how romantic.

The clubhouse's covered balcony and verandah areas overlooking the beach can offer a sheltered spot if a shower rolls through, so a little rain doesn't have to interrupt your ceremony.
