Bondi Beach
Bondi is one of the world's most famous beaches, a crescent of sand strung between two rocky headlands, just
15 minutes from the city centre. During the summer visitors jostle for towel space on the beach while the promenade bustles with activity.
Campbell Parade serves up a mixture of busy bars, seaside cafes, and the ever-popular
Sunday market.
Topless sunbathing is tolerated and swimmers should always swim within the patrolled areas marked by the red and yellow flags. The coastal walk, which starts at Bondi's southern end and runs along the coast to Coogee, is a must for any visitor.
