Locals and travelers from all over the world come to worship the sun, sand and clear blue waters of Australia’s most famous beach.

The seaside suburb of Bondi is often overshadowed by its near-mythical beach. There’s more to Bondi, however, than just its incredible stretch of sand. With fabulous dining, cool shopping, art deco architecture and residents devoted to the body beautiful, Bondi is a state of mind as well as a destination.

Flop under a beach umbrella after a night out in Bondi’s bars and clubs, or salute the sun at a dawn yoga class on the sand. Learn to surf, or join a volleyball game with Swedish backpackers.

Bondi is home to two surf lifesaving clubs, one of which, the Bondi Surf Bathers’ Life Saving Club, is recognized as the first life saving club in the world. The beach is patrolled year-round. It’s advisable to swim between the red-and-yellow flags where lifesavers are on hand to assist if need be. The northern end of Bondi Beach is safest for swimming, while the southern end is better suited to surfing. When the water’s rough, head to the Bondi Baths where an Olympic-sized swimming pool and smaller kids’ pool sit right beside waves rolling in from the sea.

After your fill of sun and surf, soak up the village atmosphere of Bondi’s streets. Wander along Campbell Parade and take in the beach views. Relax over a long lunch at one of the many restaurants. Watch skateboarders try their moves at the Bondi Skate Park or check out the biceps at the outdoor gym. If you’re in the area on a Sunday, stop by the Bondi Markets, where there’s everything from vintage clothing to local crafts.

Indulge in some serious retail therapy at Bondi Junction, home to an enormous Westfield shopping center. Explore a wide array of shops everything from upscale designers like Chanel and Hugo Boss, to chain stores and small boutiques. There’s also an expansive food court with plenty of choices for hungry shoppers.

From downtown Sydney, Bondi Beach is easily accessed by taking a train to Bondi Junction and then jumping on a bus to the beach. If driving, arrive early as parking spaces (some metered) fill early, especially during summer and weekends.

8.6/10 Excellent! (1,001 reviews)

This is my third stay at Nesuto. The first two times were wonderful - I was upgraded on my first visit to a huge 3 bedroom apt because the studios were being painted. The second time I got a large studio in great condition with a fantastic view of the City at night. This time , however I had what looked like a neglected studio with the kitchen counter surface peeling off, no plug for either the kitchen sink or the bathroom basin( I did get one when I asked). When I mentioned on my first day that I could not connect to the internet even though I was connected to Nesuto ‘s guest server I was rudely told that no one else had complained so it must be because I had an IPhone ( the trainee sitting next to the receptionist was also unable to connect on her iPhone. ) No one offered to check the system. I had to rely on my Mobile Data and nearby cafes for Internet. I discovered that the unit I was in was currently for sale which might account for the huge decline in the quality and general condition of the unit. It’s a pity to see that management has allowed this situation. The owner obviously didn’t want to spend any money doing it up before selling . It’s a great location ( even though my Sydney friends warned me the area is dangerous at night). I never had any bad experiences even coming home late at night and it’s so convenient to everything.
