The famous golden crescent of Bondi and the string of beaches south of it — surf, sand, the clifftop coastal walk and a buzzing café-and-bar scene. Relaxed, sunny and quintessentially Sydney, a 30-minute bus or ride from the centre; the base for beach days and the outdoor lifestyle, if further out.

- 3.Bondi Beach — Australia's most famous beach — a broad golden arc of sand and surf backed by cafés and the promenade, packed with swimmers, surfers and sunbathers. Swim between the flags, watch the surfers, and soak up the beach culture; buzzing all summer, and lovely for the coastal walk any time of year.
- 4.The Bondi to Coogee walk — One of the world's great urban coastal walks — a 6-km clifftop path from Bondi south past Tamarama, Bronte and Clovelly to Coogee, all crashing surf, rock pools and beach after beach. Do it on a sunny morning with swim stops; the sculpture-lined trail is free and endlessly gorgeous.
- 11.Bondi Icebergs pool — The world's most photographed swimming pool — a spectacular ocean pool at the southern end of Bondi where waves crash over the edge, with a swim club and a chic restaurant-bar above. Do laps in the sea pool with that view, or just have a drink on the terrace watching the surfers; peak Sydney.
