Overview
The beach faces southeast, which gives it consistent surf and a strong sweep at the southern end that catches out visitors every summer. Swim between the red and yellow flags; the patrolled zone moves with the conditions. Behind the sand, Campbell Parade runs on cafés, surf shops and a Sunday market, and the grassy park at the north end is the quiet corner.
Highlights
The Bondi to Coogee coastal walk starts at the south end and runs six kilometres past Tamarama and Bronte, about two hours at a stroll. Bondi Icebergs, the ocean pool cut into the rocks below the clubhouse, is open to the public for a small fee. Sculpture by the Sea lines the same clifftop path each spring, from late October into early November.
