Home to the most famous beach in Australia, Bondi beach is a name everyone has heard of. The golden sands of this kilometre long beach are a top attraction of the great city of Sydney. Operating as a public beach since 1882, visitors and locals of Sydney have always regarded this beach the top dog and it fully deserves its reputation. Head on down and enjoy the lovely warm sand between your toes and the gorgeous green blue water of the Tasman Sea. Sink into relaxation mode as you enjoy the sun, sea and sand and just off from the beach the many popular cafes, restaurants and hotels that line the sea front.
The name Bondi origionates from the Aborigional word meaning water breaking over rocks, sounding more dangerous than it is you need not worry because the Bondi Surf Bathers Life Saving Club is based here and is the worlds first surf lifesaving club. Another cool beach fact is Bondi Beach also hosted the beach volleyball competition at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
