Bondi Beach

Bondi Beach is a favourite visitor destination for the thousands of British Tourists that visit Australia every year who annually gather on its sands for a Southern Hemisphere Christmas in the sun. It is not uncommon to hear Norwegian, French, German, Dutch, Swedish, Danish or Spanish while walking across the beach or through the cafes.

 

 

Only a 30 minute drive from the centre of Sydney down Oxford Street (it changes to Enfield Drive and then Bondi Road) brings you to the south entrance of Bondi Beach. Bus 380 from Circular Quay will get you there in about 40 minutes or the train to Bondi Junction, then buses 381 or 382 will drop you off right on the beach as well. The bus from Bondi Junction to the beach takes about 15 minutes.

In the summer season Bondi is a thriving cosmopolitan centre for sun, surf and fun. Tourist and locals mix on the street and beach when the sun shines to show off their bronzed bodies. The beach is part of a large moon shaped bay of white sands and breaking surf. It is fringed by parks and apartments that overlook the blue waters. Spanning the length of the beach, and across busy Campbell Parade, is a string of eateries, shops, hotels and tourist outlets for the souvenir hunter which bustle with activity most of the time. Set immediately behind the shops are apartments and accommodation for both the short or long term visitor.
