Sydney's Famous Bondi Beach

Bondi Beach is Australia's most famous beach, and the place where Surf Lifesaving began - the Bondi Surf Lifesaving Club.

Bondi is a suburb just east of Sydney, and the famous beach is easily reached by bus from the city itself.

The Bondi Lifesavers' social club is known as the Bondi Icebergs, and has an excellent but expensive restaurant at the south end of the beach. The view from the Icebergs' dining room is quite breathtaking.

The Bondi Icebergs got its name because members fill the swimming pool with big blocks of ice and leap into the icy water in the height of the Aussie winter!

The beach is just under one mile (1 Km) long, and is patrolled by the famous surf life-savers. They warn swimmers to stay between the yellow and red marker flags, which are moved every few hours. The flags mark an area where there are no rip tide currents, stinging jellyfish or other dangers.

Bondi Pavilion

Bondi Pavillion, located in the center of the beach, has public toilets, showers & changing rooms. It also boasts a theatre, an exhibition gallery and an outdoor amphitheater. The Pavillion has function rooms, a cafe and a gift/souvenir shop.

Bondi is one of the most beautiful stretches of beach in Sydney, and there are some lovely cliff-side walks from Bondi to its neighboring beaches.

It has a 4-and-a-half star rated residential hotel, The Swiss Hotel Grand, several pubs (bars) and a host of small shops, restaurants and cafes. Its a pleasant experience to sit at a table on the pavement and just watch the world go by.

On the weekend, there are markets at the north end of the beach selling all kinds of clothing, books, jewellery and local crafts.
