ABOUT THIS BEACH
Bondi Beach is Sydney’s world-famous coastal icon, known for its golden sand, rolling surf, and vibrant culture. Patrolled year-round with multiple lifeguard towers, including the main tower at the centre, Bondi is one of the safest ocean swims in the city. Swimmers, surfers, and sunbathers all find their space here, while the wide promenade invites people to stroll, people-watch, or soak up the lively beachside energy.
The Bondi Pavilion sits at the heart of the beach, offering public bathrooms, showers, and water refill stations, along with restaurants, an art gallery, and spaces for dance or pottery classes. Families gravitate towards North Bondi, where a playground, picnic areas, and calm lagoon swimming provide a safe, enjoyable day out.
On the southern end, the famous Bondi Icebergs Club offers a photogenic ocean pool with paid public access, while the Bondi to Coogee coastal walk starts just here, offering stunning cliffside views along the way. Whether you’re chasing waves, enjoying a sunrise swim, or watching street performers, Bondi Beach blends surf, sun, and city energy like nowhere else on Sydney’s coastline.
