The beach is absolutely gorgeous no matter which side you are at. It definitely deserves the praise of being one of Australia's most iconic beaches. It is surrounded by the park, shops, skate park, art and more. Absolutely cannot go wrong with the location either. Don't waste any more time and go in for a dip, sun bathe and relax!

Bondi Beach is BEAUTIFUL! The water was clear and clean. It was a great spot to swim and relax. The beach itself was very clean, and I didn't see any liter anywhere. There are plenty of shops and lots of places to grab a meal or a snack. You can definitely spend an entire day here. Just remember your sunblock! There is also currently a memorial for the victims of the shooting in December. It was very thoughtful and respectful. It added a sense of community. A wonderful beach!

Fabulous beach. Sand is the absolute softest. Bluest waters!! Bathroooms by beach. Plenty of lifeguards. And a beachy boardwalk strip with restaurants, dessert places, souvenirs and so much more!!!

Why go from Huntington Beach, one of the most touristy beaches in the world, to another touristy beach like Bondi?: Because you have to if you're in Sydney! IMHO, Aussies are in good shape and luv to show off their bodies when the weather gets better. The surf is pretty good here, and the thong is strong for women. I even saw a woman sunbathing topless (Americans are such prudes regarding this topic). I picked up some merch from the local store. Honestly, I was expecting more stores, and bars & restaurants near the Pavilion. It seems like most of the foregoing are higher up on the main roads.

there is just something about this beach thats just enjoyable! maybe its the beautiful waters, maybe is the clean sands, maybe its the crowd. Either way im glad we got to visit Bondi Beach even though it was short and sweet. The waves can be crazy so swim carefully and responsibly. Share the beach with the rest of the beachgoers and have a great time! dont forget to check the local restaurants and shops while youre here!

12/6/24 What an amazing time. Wished it wasn't as cloudy but all in all a good day. Water was very cold didn't get all the way due to those vicious waves. I loved watching folks surfing. Wish I was a better swimmer so that I could partake. So much activity family friends etc all having a good time. Happened upon a promotion for helicopter rescue and if you took a pic you received free gelato. All in all enjoyed watching and walking along the beach.

Breathe taking beach. It's June (winter months but the sun is out today) and the beach is sparsely crowded. Surfers are a delight to watch. Near the walking path, there are many steps facing the beach to sit and enjoy the views if you don't want to wander and sit on the sand. Once the hunger alarm goes off, there are several fast causal and restaurants directly across from the beach.

What a beautiful beach in Sydney. Golden sand. Crystal blue water. Rocky headlands. Colorful street art. The Icebergs. Trendy cafes. Bondi is such an iconic landmark. One of Australia's most famous beaches. So interesting that Bondi Beach has been free and open to the public since 1882. Bondi is an Aboriginal word which means "water breaking over rocks." It's a favorite for surfers. The beach is 1 km long. The Bondi Baths are over 100 years old. The Bondi Surf Bathers Life Saving Club is the oldest lifesaving club in the world. The club aims to ensue "No Lives Lost." A beautiful place to spend a warm summer afternoon lounging at a Bondi Beach.

Wish we had more time to visit this beach and area. This is an Australian National Heritage site. Quality/Quantity - See the atmosphere info below. We also people-watched at the local Bondi restaurant, Promenade. Vanilla Bean Ice Cream Sundae & my Bondi Hazy IPA - I know this really does not sound like a good pairing... The sundae was actually for our guest. House Made Soda - See picture. My wife's drink. I think it was club soda with a splash of strawberry syrup...? Atmosphere - Kilometer of white sand beach! Good place to surf, but be safe. Paid street parking, or if you do not mind walking, limited free parking a few more blocks away. So many cool and hip eateries. Some cool decor around the area, see pictures. Kid friendly from the beach to the playgrounds to the markets. We hung out at the Promenade to people-watch after eating lunch at one of the new local hot businesses which is a perfect place to take a break and enjoy the weather, etc. Also see other reviews. Service - Good. Price - Expensive, the Promenade. As expected for a business on the beach that attracts both locals and tourists. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since the 1800's. 1884 - Tramway to beach. 1903 - First bath houses. 1929 - Pavilion.

Looking for things to do in Australia and this consistently showed up. I can see why. Parking: Street parking, paid parking, plenty of parking but this is a popular place so it can get crowded. Vibes: Beautiful. There's something special about the things you see here - clean water, baths, murals, people, and a nice view of the neighborhood. I enjoyed running the walker path, resting near the rocks, and feeling the water. It's quite a sight. Overall: 5 Stars. Lovely! For cheap thrills, this is a great place to check out. Living in LA, OC, SD - California - USA, for some reason this beach stands out. It's probably because of the baths and the balance busy spaces and peaceful spots to meditate or play the didgeridoo (Australian instrument) TL;DR Tips: * Come early if you're trying to hang out in the beach.

First time in Sydney Australia and Bondi beach was one of the top beaches in the world. So we Uber and see the exact place. The city was very nice. I feel the ocean breeze and beautiful green coral blue ocean beach. I wasn't disappointed. The sand was bleached white with good waves for surfers. Lots of people sunbathing. Lots of shops, food restaurants, souvenirs and p The water was inviting to take a swim. I did it. Feels so good. The ocean shore was clean . Make sure visit Bondi beach . Worthy

The flight crew from airplane said that this is their favorite place to go in Australia. The stunning post, delicious restaurants, yoga, swimmers and surfers a part of the appeal. The blue ocean sparkles. We took a scenic ferry from circular Quay to Watson Bay for connecting bus to Bondi. The main beach area in front of the Bondi pavilion is a national heritage icon. Professional lifeguards patrol the beaches daily and even have their own reality TV show called Bondi rescue. There are accredited surf schools here and powerful waves. They were surf and swim shops as well. The Bondi iceberg is at the southern end of the beach and it's one of Australia's oldest swimming clubs remember swim year-round. Between May and November we can spot whales migrating from Bondi. They were cliffs and a coastal walk transformed by sculpture by the sea a free public outdoor sculpture park. There a year-round events festivals markets selling flowers produce fashions and jewelry.
