This is probably the most popular beach to the north of Sydney. Accessible by bus from Military Road, or by ferry from the city. The ferry is worth the trip just to see the harbour. The beach is great, can get big surf at times - swim between the flags and read the signs!

Sightseeing
If you don't want to pay for the expense of the bridge climb, go up the Southwest pylon instead. It has a bit of a museum on the building of the bridge and you can take all the pictures of the harbour in every direction from the top for about $15.

Allow at least 15 minutes to walk down the hill - this is my favourite (but longer) way to the city. Check the schedule - ferries run every 30 or 60 minutes depending on time of day. A bus to go back up the hill (dropping off at Wycombe Rd & Yeo Street) meets every ferry.
