The body of a man was found on Coogee Beach overnight.
Officers with the Eastern Beaches Area Police Command were called to the scene around 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Police have put out a public plea for help finding a 54-year-old man who had told his family he was going swimming at Maroubra Beach, about 3km south of Coogee Beach, on Saturday.
