Liz is a big beach girl and wanted to see Bondi. We hopped on a bus and went to Bondi Beach. The bus ride was easy and quick. We started our day lounging on the beach. The sand is super fine and soft. It was a bit windy in the morning but that didn't hamper the visit. Liz took a dip in the Pacific as I lounged on the beach. It was great to sit and watch the waves crash, the surfers and the people strolling by. The weather was beautiful and we had a fabulous day. Leave a Comment

 Manly Beach by martin_nl
After a day of lazing about you can make your way back again to the shopping street for some surf wear shopping and back to the hotel for a nice drink. Try and take a ferry back around sunset or simply watch the sunset from the terrace!! Leave a Comment

 Bondi Beach by Mez77
There are a number of walks that you can take around Bondi, or you can sit on the beach and relax.
There are activities all year round, many of them are centered around the Pavilion. From kite flying and surfing competitions, to festivals, markets and galleries. Leave a Comment

Arguably, one of the most spectacular of the Harbour bays as it provides you with great views of the Sydney skyline and then, just two minutes walk brings you to The Gap and the vast ocean views from the clifftop vantage point.
Watsons Bay is synonymous with Doyles - possibly the most famous restaurant in Australia. Bayside location at the ferry station, Doyles is just expanding and expanding! Top notch sea food, its cataering for all tastes and all budgets these days, including the takeaway fish and chip kiosk at the ferry station itself.
But there's more to Watsons Bay than simply Doyles. The immediate vicinity of the ferry station other than the restaurant are a couple of small but pleasant beaches, an open air sea-water swimming pool as well as a large grassy area for eating those fish & chips you have taken away from Doyles. Walk up the hill to the bus station and the ocean and The Gap - famed lover's leap section of the cliff tops overlooking the ocean.
WB is also the ideal start for the South Head walk, which is part of the Sydney Harbour National Park - see next tip. Leave a Comment

 Bondi Beach by kooka3
Bondi Beach (pronounced bone-dye): This is one of the most famous beaches. It is amazingly popular with both Aussies and tourists. It's really big, clean, and has lots of services (bathrooms, showers, first aid stations). There is also a huge boardwalk area, so you can spend a whole day in the area. There are restaurants, shops, arcades, etc. If you get off the immediate beach area (go inland even 2-3 blocks), you will find more great restaurants and shops that are much less touristy and less expensive. It's a wonderful suburb to wander in. There's also Bondi, a separate suburb. In Bondi Beach, someplace close to the beach itself, is a place called Death By Chocolate - if you like chocolate, it's worth finding! I don't remember exactly where it is, but I'm sure people can stear you in the right direction.
Bronte (pronounced like the authors): So pretty! Smaller than Bondi, and a better picnicy sort of area. Clean beach, lots of grassy areas. Not touristy like Bondi.
Manly: Very similar to Bondi in that it's touristy and there is a lot to do. Great place for a half-full day if you want to combine swimming/tanning with other things without wasting travel time. The big differences: there is a nice (but expensive) aquarium there, and there are also a few amusement park rides where the ferry comes in. You can also combine a ferry ride over to Manly -- do a lot of tourist things at once! Leave a Comment Directions: There are 20+ beaches in the area. The beaches above and most others are on public transportation routes, usually buses. They can take up to 50 minutes from the city center. Manly is accessible by ferry. I would recommend taking the ferry.

 Tamarama Beach... looking
southwards. by Joseph69
----------------------
Very small beach, but cute. I quite like it! There isn't much there, but I suggest you go as it's very unique with cliffs on both sides and the beach is quite narrow.
Type = Ocean beach, quiet.
Getting There = Walk along the beautiful coastal walk from Bondi Beach or from the city centre, get the train to Bondi Junction Railway Station, then take the 381 bus and get out at Fletcher St (ask the driver for assistance), and it's a 300 metre walk to the beach.
Bronte Beach
-----------------
One of my favourites, if not my favourite beach in the Eastern Suburbs. Beautiful trees along the beach, as well as a nice park and a handful of cafes. I strongly suggest a visit to this beach. You will understand why.
Type = Surf. Salt-water bathing pools available. Cafes.
Getting There = Get a train to Bondi Junction Railway station and board the 378 bus. Bus route 222 can take you from Bondi Beach to Bronte Beach too. Alternatively, you may walk south from Bondi or Tamarama Beach along the fantastic coastal walk.
Clovelly Beach
-------------------
This is another cute little beach, but it feels more like a gigantic pool than a beach! It's marvellous for families as it's very safe. There is a cafe but other services are limited. If you like to go snorkelling, this is the best and safest place in the eastern suburbs. Many people snorkel here and there are some nice fish to view too.
Type = Calm. Snorkelling. Cafe.
Getting There = From Bondi Junction Railway Station, get the 360 bus and stop at Clovelly Rd near Keith St. Then walk easterly for 300 meters. Or, get the 339 bus from the city centre and this takes you directly to the beach. From Bondi or Tamarama or Bronte beaches, take the beautiful coastal walk south until you get to Clovelly.

Certainly not one of Sydney's most beautiful beaches, but being one of the most famous in the world it should rate a visit.
The beach is approximately a kilometre in length and is patrolled by lifesavers who ensure that swimmers stay between the red & yellow flags - very important that travellers do this as many rescues are necessary every year due to lack of experience swimming at surf beaches. During the summer months Bondi Beach can be very crowded, but the water is clean and the sand is also cleaned every day.
Bondi is a great place for people watching and there are some good cafes and restaurants along the beachfront. There are also many other activities all year round at Bondi Beach, many of them are centered around the Pavilion. Activities range from surfing competitions and kite flying to festivals, markets & galleries.
From 17 December 2004, Bondi Beach and all other beaches in the Waverley Council precinct were deemed "Non Smoking" zones. Hurrah!! Leave a Comment Address: Campbell Parade, Bondi, Eastern Suburbs of SydneyDirections: Catch a 380 or L82 bus from the city or Bondi Junction railway station. Buses are frequent and will drop you right at the beach.Website: www.gobondi.com
