Parks & Nature
The world-famous Bondi Beach is a great place to hang out on a hot day... Fish & chips, fresh sushi, artisanal latte's, refreshing sorbet, local craft beers, trendy cocktails, or exploring the stylish boutiques.
I highly recommend the easy coastal cliff walk featuring stunning views, beaches, parks, cliffs, bays and rock pools with cafes, hotels, restaurants or takeaways along the way.
Bondi Beach - Bronte Beach = 20-30 minutes one way
Bronte Beach - Coogee Beach = 50-60 minutes one way
