Welcome to Bondi, which happens to be my backyard. This photo is taken from the southern end of the beach next to the famous Bondi Icebergs. So what to know about this iconic Australian beach. The northern or southern ends are equally as beautiful. I personally prefer the south end. Make sure you enjoy your swim between the flags, there are plenty of rips unseen to the untrained eye. 

TO EAT AND DRINK

The beach is lined with an array of cafes and restaurants. For the food with the best view I would recommend North Bondi Fish at the northern end of the beach. Here you can sip on a chilled glass of Rose whilst watching the ocean. Or another option might be the flamingo pink and white building housing Ravesis. At the upstairs balcony area you can find a nice view across the street to the beach beyond. And of course there is the iconic Icebergs dining room and bar for a more upmarket experience, with stunning views across the ocean. The Icebergs club next door offers bistro style dining with similar views, guests must all sign in at reception. For more casual dining, at the northern end of Bondi Beach are BBQ facilities open to the public.

WALKS

A must to all first time visitors would be the Bondi to Bronte now newly connected to Clovelly, cliff walk. This path provides you with breathtaking views across the ocean from the cliff tops connecting each beach. The entire walk to Clovelly could take approximately 50 minutes each way. Your are free to stop and turn around at any point. There is a beach cafe on Tamarrama Beach to refuel if needed and then more at Bronte Beach itself.  Another short walk not to be overlooked would be up along the rocks at North Bondi up to Ben Buckler Point, a short walk with a beautiful view at the end
