The body of a woman has washed up on rocks near Coogee Beach.
A beachgoer called triple zero shortly after midday on Tuesday, after discovering the body lying on rocks below Dunningham Reserve on the northern end of the beach.
Hundreds of people watched on as Police Rescue officers scaled down the cliffs to retrieve the woman's body.
An emergency service person was later lowered down from a police helicopter onto the rockface and the woman's body was winched up to the chopper.
