Tamarama

Tamarama is an administrative division in Sydney's eastern suburbs, located about 6 kilometers from the city center along the New South Wales coast. The area includes a beach and park spaces connected to nearby localities through coastal walking paths.

The name changed from Dixon Bay to Tamarama in the 1800s, derived from the Aboriginal word 'Gamma Gamma' that appeared on maps from the 1860s. This shift in naming reflects the area's evolving identity during the colonial period.

The beach hosts Sculpture by the Sea, an outdoor art exhibition that takes place during late spring with temporary installations. Visitors walking along the coast encounter contemporary sculptures displayed in the open air.

Wear comfortable walking shoes as coastal paths can have uneven surfaces. The best time to explore is during clear weather when the paths are easiest to navigate safely.

Marks Park holds a memorial honoring people affected by discriminatory violence in the community. The monument stands as evidence of the area's commitment to remembrance and awareness.
