Bondi Beach is one of Australia’s most famous beaches

Bondi Beach is a popular beach and the name of the surrounding suburb in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Bondi Beach is located 7 km (4 mi) east of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of Waverley Council, in the Eastern Suburbs. Bondi, North Bondi and Bondi Junction are neighbouring suburbs. Bondi Beach is one of the most visited tourist sites in Australia.

Each year tens of thousands of people, from backpackers to billionaires, take to the golden sands of this wide, one-kilometre long city beach expanse to walk, jog, or just soak up the sun. Being only 10 kilometres from the city centre, Bondi Beach is one of Sydney’s busiest beaches. There’s a host of events held here all year round from community art shows to city to surf running marathons.

Throughout the year the beach hosts many local and international events from the annual City to Surf fun run to the Festival of the Winds kite flying festival. On Christmas Day, at the height of the Australian summer, it has become a tradition for families and travellers to meet and celebrate on the beach. It’s a special place to be on New Year’s Eve with thousands of revellers watching the local fireworks. You may have to buy a ticket to these events because of their popularity. Bondi Beach is also fun in winter, with an ice-skating rink built as part of the Bondi Winter Magic Festival.

Bondi is also the home of Australian surf-lifesaving. The Bondi Life Saving Club, formed in 1906, is Australia’s oldest. In summer it is patrolled by volunteer lifesavers, making sure swimmers stay between Australia’s iconic red and yellow beach safety flags. On Sunday mornings in summer you can watch the ‘Nippers’, Australia’s future life-savers, learning the ropes from a very young age. The calm protected waters are also a perfect place to learn to surf with a number of local surf schools to teach you how.
