Gordon's Bay, otherwise known as Thompson's Bay, is a beach within the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, Australia, located between Clovelly and Coogee beach. It is a site upon 'Sydney's Coastal Walks' with scenic views between two rocky headlands.[1] The bay is renowned for various reef and coral and as a result is a popular snorkeling area with an abundance of marine life. It is also known for small aluminium boats known as dinghies or colloquially as "tinnies" with an abundance being found upon wooden racks upon the dry sand belonging to members of Gordon's Bay Amateur Fishing Club.[2]
