About Maroubra

Maroubra is Sydney's largest beachside suburb by population, where over 30,000 residents enjoy genuine coastal living without the pretension of its northern neighbours. The beach is magnificent—nearly a kilometre of golden sand and consistent surf breaks that attract both beginners and experienced surfers. Elevation rises gently from the coast, providing many homes with ocean views.

Pacific Square Shopping Centre handles daily needs, while the Junction offers cafes and dining with a decidedly local feel. Maroubra has a strong sense of community—the surf club is an institution, and local parks host family gatherings every weekend. The suburb attracts young professionals and families who want beach lifestyle accessibility without Bondi prices. It's authentically beachy without being flashy—the way Sydney used to be.

Maroubra falls under postcode 2035 and is governed by Randwick Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Maroubra electorate.
