Get in

Getting to Bondi Beach

Don't confuse Bondi Junction and Bondi Beach.

See

Worth seeing

See the crowds, the waves, the water, the sand, the sunbathers, the teens and tweens showing off, the tourists with long socks and shoes straight off the tour coach next to the skimpily clad sunbathers. It is all part of the Bondi Beach Scene. If you see past the crowds, the beach itself is actually naturally scenic, and there is an esplanade running along the beach front and along to the rocks either side.

Do

Things to do

Swim. There are two sets of flags at the centre and at the north of the beach. Bondi Beach is a fantastic place to cool off in the summer. There are change rooms and showers in the pavilion, access is free. There are lockers for hire. Walk Bondi to Coogee Walk - a coastal walk from Bondi (at the bottom of Notts Avenue, off Campbell Parade) to Tamarama, Bronte and all the way to South Coogee.

Eat

Where to eat

Bondi is a food lover's delight. There are countless cafes and restaurants on the streets around the beach, many with great views. If you're looking for something quick and easy, there are kiosks on the beach, and a cafe in the pavilion with plenty of tables on the wide promenade. Unless you have a particular place in mind, there is usually no need to book in advance.
