In any case, do not forget about the availability of public transport and taxis.

User reviews

"Many people claim that Bondi Beach is overhyped and too popular, but they are mistaken. It is a truly pleasant location with a fantastic atmosphere encompassing the sand, waves, scenery, nearby shops, and the diverse crowd that gathers to relax or engage in physical activities. It is simply an incredible spot to spend time."

Liam Alexander Rutherford

"The beach is great for surfing, but it tends to get crowded. It's not recommended for kids to swim due to rough conditions. To be honest, it's a bit overrated. It's not terrible, but it receives more attention than it deserves considering Australia has numerous breathtaking beaches that go unnoticed."
