Summer is here and we'll be working with the police to ensure that everyone who visits our coastal reserves and beaches will enjoy their day.

Alcohol is permanently prohibited at all of Randwick City beaches and the coastal reserves at Clovelly and Coogee.

Additional restrictions will be in place these summer holidays to extend the restriction to the coastal reserves at Gordons Bay, Maroubra, Malabar, Little Bay, Yarra Bay and La Perouse.

These additional restrictions have been in place on the holiday days for a number of years with the intention of increasing public safety and to reduce the potential for alcohol-related violence.

Eastern Beaches Local Area Command and Randwick City Rangers will have an increased presence over summer to keep our beaches and town centres safe and inviting for everybody to use.

All Randwick City beaches are permanently alcohol-free.

Coogee Beach and beachside parks are also subject to a permanent alcohol ban.

During the following hours, the alcohol-free restrictions apply to all beaches and coastal reserves at Coogee, Clovelly, Maroubra, Little Bay, Malabar and La Perouse.

The summer alcohol restrictions apply on the following dates:

• From 8pm on 23 December 2020, ceasing at 6am on 4 January 2021, and
• From 8pm on 24 January 2021, ceasing at 6am on 28 January 2021.
