Sydney's Bondi Beach

At around one kilometre in length and only about seven kilometres from the heart of the Sydney city centre, Bondi Beach is one of the most cherished of the Sydney Beaches. Sunny Bondi attracts scores of fun-loving locals as well as international tourists visiting Australia.

Bondi Beach is a national treasure as well as one of the most photographed Australian beaches but it is more than just a place to unroll your towel and catch some surf. Behind the smiles of the Bondi Lifesavers in their red and yellow beach caps, awaits fun and excitement for everyone.

Play beach volleyball, go for a surf or a swim, go rollerblading, or order a frothy cappuccino at one of the beachfront cafés. Check out the local art and music scene, choose something fresh and al fresco or explore the boutique shops.

Be sure to check the calendar for the Bondi Markets and if festivals are your thing, Bondi hosts an array including Sculpture by the Sea, Flickerfest and the Festival of the Winds.

Recently refurbished for the weary traveller and conveniently accessible by Sydney train, bus, taxi and car, Bondi Junction is now also considered a major tourism hub. A great place to find a place to stay, take a break or catch a movie, Bondi Junction shops, cinema and the Westfield Shopping Centre have everything you need.

Nearby Coogee Beach also offers a range of accommodation, dining and entertainment, including inspiring coastal walks with stunning views to relish. Pack your picnic basket or plan a barbecue to enjoy the free amenities and public facilities.
