In the twentieth century, the Australian beach came to be celebrated as a unique site of ‘Australianness’, with a culture which embraced surfers, surf lifesavers, sunbaking, and beach fashion. Despite the wealth of analysis of this ‘modern’ beach culture, the nineteenth century Australian beach has rarely been examined in depth. This article looks at different attitudes towards ‘culture’ and ‘nature’ on Sydney beaches in the nineteenth century, in an attempt to better understand the roots of twentieth century surf culture. It finds that while culture and nature overlapped in many ways, it was primarily through beachside romance that the two were merged in this early period.This article has been peer-reviewed
