Australia's most famous beach, a kilometre-long curve of golden sand on the Pacific east of Sydney, framed by rocky headlands, lined with cafés and restaurants, and full of surfers and swimmers in every season. Lifeguards from one of the world's oldest surf lifesaving clubs patrol the beach and set red-and-yellow flags marking the safe swimming area, as the currents here are strong. At its southern end is a famous ocean pool on the edge of the rocks. From the end of the beach starts the famous Bondi to Coogee coastal walk, about six kilometres along the clifftops, passing small beaches such as Tamarama and Bronte and the seaside Waverley Cemetery, with some of Sydney's finest views. The beach and walk are free, reached by bus from the city centre. Swim only between the flags, and early morning is the best time to walk, before the heat and crowds.
