In a nutshell
The place I go to in my head when times are tough.
Coastal Walk from Bondi to Coogee
cjg1 Says: Liz and I decided we wanted to do the Coastal Walk from Bondi to Coogee. We both love the ocean and heard the views along this walk were unsurpassed. We began our walk in Bondi on the Promenade. We climbed up the hills and looked down upon the beach and the crashing surf;...
cjg1 Says: We always arrive to Bondi Beach via a bus from Bondi Junction. As soon as we see the beach; it is an "Ahhhh" feeling. The beach is beautiful with a long stretch of sand and crashing blue surf. There is always a hub of activity; joggers, surfers, skaters, bikers, joggers,...
cjg1 Says: Beaches can be dangerous with rip tides, big waves and inexperienced swimmers. It's up to the brave lifesavers of the beaches to keep everyone safe. This monument at Bondi is for all that protect the beaches.
ATXtraveler Says: I am not quite sure if there is a way to describe all the different ways I have had Bondi Beach described to me in the past. What I can tell you is that this place is world famous, and if you go there you will know why. As AussieDoug will tell you, it does not have the best...
Go fly a kite!... or Festival of the Winds
swings Says: September 12, 2004 was the date for this year's 26th Annual Festival of the Winds, and boy, was it windy! All sorts of kites were being flown this weekend, and there were also cultural events scheduled at the pavilion amphitheatre (back courtyard), kite workshops and...
SandraThomas Says: After doing some extensive traveling in and around the beautiful continent Australia, it has come to our attention that there is a far higher concentration of good-looking people in Sydney’s Bondi to Coogee region than anywhere else on the continent... and they definitely...
Il Puntino: Bondi's Italian Cafe on Campbell
ATXtraveler Says: On our first trip to Bondi, we arrived in on the city bus. Since we had been travelling quite a long time by bus and ferry, we were hungry and in need of a restroom. Il Puntino was one of our first options, and while some of the more traditional Australian options were open,...
grkboiler Says: You shouldn't have trouble finding a place to eat at Bondi Beach. The street is lined with all kinds of places, from fish and chips to cafes to Italian, Japanese, and more upscale places.The website below lists some restaurants.
Deli Bottega: Quickly our favorite local
Callavetta Says: Deli Bottega was just steps from our apartment. This little restaurant has indoor and outdoor dining and even though it was winter, we couldn't resist sitting outside by the warm and toasty heater and cozy blankets provided by the waiter. On our first visit Beverly had the...
Bondi Blue: Great Greek Brunch on the Beach
Callavetta Says: Our last morning as locals at the beach we met a work colleague for breakfast at Bondi Blue. It's a Greek cafe that does a great breakfast. I really enjoyed my eggs benedict and Greek frappe. You can't beat the view and even on an Australia winter morning we enjoyed the al...
AnnikaW Says: The easiest way to get to Bondi Beach is to catch a bus from the city (Circular quay, Elizabeth Street or Oxford Street). 380, 381 and L82 will take you here. You can also take the train to Bondi Junction and take one of the buses (380, 381 or L82) from Stand A at the train...
Take the Tain to Bondi junction
cjg1 Says: Visiting Bondi is as simple as catching the City Rail to Bondi Junction. From Bondi Junction buses leave for areas of Bondi, Watsons Bay, Coogee and back to the city. The buses are a quick and easy way to get to your destination and provide a nice view.
Bondi Markets: Beachside Market
Zanzibargirl Says: Bondi Markets are amazing and a must do if you are in the area. On every Sunday from 9am to 3pm they have an amazing array of hip and cool clothing, keepsakes, jewellery, paintings and things to buy. The markets are located at the far end of Bondi Beach closer to North Bondi...
Westfield Bondi Junction: Shopping Galore
cjg1 Says: The Westfield Bondi Junction is a huge shopping and entertainment center. There is tons of shopping for men, women, children and for the home. Both typical and upscale stores can be found here such as Coles and Chanel. The Movie Theatre shows the latests flicks and there are...
cjg1 Says: The Sun is very strong in Australia. There are signs and posters on buses and buildings warning about the high skin cancer rate in Australia. Fortunately Liz always wears sunblock and brings plenty of it. She made sure I wore sunblock 100 and stayed protected. I also made...
cjg1 Says: Just a note on how the water can be destrcutive:On 6 February 1938, 5 people drowned and over 250 people were rescued after a series of large waves struck the beach and pulled people back into the sea, a day that became known as "Black Sunday". This event is still remembered...
Helpfulness
We didn't pack towels for our trip and forgot to bring toweld from our hotel. We were stuck purchasing a towel from one of the many beach side stores. So for $28 dollars we got a towel in a vinyl sack. That's what we get for not packing a towel. Oh well....

SassyMcPeaches Says: The Gap was easily one of my favourite parts of our entire trip to Sydney. The views of the ocean and of the city in the distance are stunning!The Gap is an easy stop on the Bondi Explorer bus, however the stops can be deceiving. Stay on the bus at stop number ten, Watson's...
grkboiler Says: What a great place to spend the day! Whether you like to swim or just lay out and relax, Bondi is one of the best beaches in the world.If you can't sit still, then take a walk along the beach or on the road and grab something to eat in one of the restaurants.
Helpfulness
Favorite thing: Escape the hectic city and just relax on the beach! Bondi is lovely, but can be crowded in summer. However, there are several smaller beaches not far away, Bronte, Tamarama and Gordon's Bay for example.

Bondi Beach is the Surf, Sun and Sand place to be. You will still see some surfers who are surfing in the cold winter water. Take a short walk around and explore the whole area. If you are hungry,...
The lifeguards are a very important part of beach life.... but that doesn't even begin to tell the tale! Watch for this bench in the downtown area.
Welcome to the World Famous Bondi Beach. Sarah and I were able to enjoy this on a beautiful April afternoon! I hope you can make it here soon!
