Nothing beats a lazy afternoon walk down Coogee Beach with the family. The sun was out, the sky was ridiculously blue, and the water looked way too inviting to just look at — so of course, the kids went straight in, shoes and all.

We wandered along the rocks first, watching waves crash and sparkle, stopping every two minutes because someone spotted “the perfect rock” or a funny-looking crab. The air smelled like salt and sunscreen — that perfect mix that instantly says summer’s almost here.

Down by the sand, the kids ran in and out of the water, daring the waves to chase them. There were giggles, sandy toes, and wet shorts all around. Even the grown-ups couldn’t resist getting their feet wet (Crocs included).

By the end, we were all sitting on the rocks, watching the ocean shimmer while the sky started to soften. Nothing fancy — just sunshine, laughter, and sea breeze. Exactly what weekends are made for. 💙
