Aussies have been left perplexed after dozens of sponge-like objects appeared on the surface of the water at an iconic Sydney beach.  

The mysterious ‘floating cakes’ were spotted at Clovelly Beach in the city’s east earlier this month and left beach-goers scratching their heads.

Eerie footage captured the objects bobbing on the surface of the ocean as several puzzled beach-goers watched on. 

‘A bay full of floating cakes, the middle like a sponge. No one has ever seen anything like this, not even the natives,’ a video was captioned on TikTok. 

One brave swimmer was seen venturing into the water to get a closer look. 

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Randwick City Council and NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) for comment. 

Clovelly Beach is a small, picturesque beach about 8km southeast of Sydney’s CBD.
