A must do while in Sydney.

Bronzed bodies, blond sand, backpackers, and surf - throw it all together and you get one of the world's most famous beaches. Only 15 minutes by car from the city center, Bondi Beach is home to one of the oldest surf life saving clubs in the world. It's also a great spot for a seaside stroll or picnic, and crowds of tourists and locals gather here to celebrate Christmas and ring in the New Year. A great way to soak up the sea views is to stroll along the scenic Bondi to Bronte coastal walk, which begins at the southern end of the beach and follows the coastline for six kilometers along sandstone cliffs. Shops, cafes, and restaurants lie across the street from this famous coastal strip. Other attractions around the beach include the Sunday markets, ocean pool, and skate park. Take care when swimming at Bondi. Strong rip tides often sweep unsuspecting swimmers out to sea, especially at the southern end of this kilometer-long strand, so swimmers should stay between the flags. There's a reason the Aussies made a reality TV show called Bondi Rescue.

A beautiful, clean and peaceful beach. Surfers paradise, good restaurants nearby beach and also parks close to beach are good. Nice one day family outing place.

This beach is freaking awesome. I can’t even forget this place. Clean and beautiful. We can surf here, play beach volleyball, chill and relax, playing ball, getting tan, enjoy the wind blowing through your face. It’s crowded since it’s very famous. But we still able to find peace laying on the sand.
