Clovelly Beach

This guide to Clovelly Beach in Sydney centers on Bluey, a giant blue groper who became the sheltered cove's unofficial mascot after locals started naming him in the late 1980s. It traces how this hand-concreted Depression-era swimming basin became an unlikely sanctuary for a wild fish, and the 2002 spearfishing act that turned a local favorite into a protected reserve. Listen while floating in the calm water below the concrete steps.
