There are many reasons to include world famous Bondi Beach and Park in your itinerary when visiting Sydney. This spectacular white sandy beach gently curves, one kilometre along the turquoise water of the Pacific Ocean. You may even see dolphins and whales passing by the beach if you are there during their migration. Another great reason besides the spectacular views is the many great and affordable dining choices in the area.

The southern end of the beach has the strongest surf and is therefore used mostly for surfing. Swimming is not advisable in that area due to the potential for strong riptide; however there are designated areas for swimming indicated with yellow and red flags. Shark nets are placed underwater during the summer months, and there are paid lifeguards on duty 365 days a year to protect swimmers along with volunteer 'Lifesavers' on weekends and holidays.

Besides water sports, you can also enjoy relaxing or sunbathing on the grass area in the park located near the southern end of the beach. You might also enjoy a walk along the ocean boardwalk south of the beach or exploring the many nearby restaurants, cafes, shops and bars. See our Bondi Beach Restaurants page for more information on some of the great dining options. There are also some fine hotels with great ocean and beach views adjacent to the beach.
