Visit the Famous Beaches
This list wouldn't make any sense without mentioning the spectacular beaches which the city is famous for. While most crowds such as families spend time here during daytime and go home before the best part, one can always choose to spend time at any of the beaches after dark. The lifeguards on some beaches won’t allow you to stay late or swim but that’s not the case everywhere, some of them are safety netted to allow people at night. Bronte Baths, Nielsen Park, Balmoral Beach and plenty more offer unlimited fun at night. All you need to do is bring a beach bag with all the essentials or rent them out at one of the beach shops.
Arcades and Drinks
Well, who doesn’t love arcades? It is your one chance to bring out the kid in you. Entertainment for the whole family is on the cards these days with vibrant arcades and arcade bars across the city centre. Retro-arcade games with exotic cocktails? Yes, please! The Archie Brothers Cirque Electriq is designed for a thrilling night out for the entire squad with an activity-warehouse completely equipped with bowling alleys, vintage arcade games, dodgem cars, laser tag, a 3D theatre ride and of course food and drinks! 1989 Arcade Bar is another gem in King Street, Newtown, one of the oldest arcade centres for adults with a staggering collection of pinball games and arcade classics from the 70s and 80s. With over 30+ craft beers, delicious cocktails and yummy treats, you will be here for hours.
Learn a retro-dance
If you ain’t feeling like hitting the gym, why not try a dance class to get the whole body moving and have a different type of experience? Dig out the ol’ vintage drips, if you have any, and head out to one of the retro-styled classes around the city. A local favourite, these classes let you groove to some of the classic beats and get your heart pumping at the same time. If you’re a bit more serious about mastering the moves, check out Sydney Dance Company’s short courses, where you will learn everything from reggaeton, jazz, afro and much more in no time!
