Sydneysiders will now be able to enjoy a dip in the water around Barangaroo while taking in a view of the Harbour Bridge.
It’s hoped the new swimming spot at Marrinawi Cove in Barangaroo will be a drawcard for locals, tourists and office workers alike.
Independent Sydney MP Alex Greenwich has been pushing for the site to open for the past three years.
He and Planning Minister Rob Stokes took a swim at the cove on Monday after announcing it would open later that day.
“The water is really beautiful down here…This is really sort of the first city beach in Sydney.”
