💡 Tips

  • Walk the famous Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk early in the morning to avoid the heat and heavy crowds.
  • Swimming is safest between the red and yellow flags; ocean rips at Bondi and Tamarama can be very strong.
  • Avoid parking near Bondi Beach on weekends; take the bus from Bondi Junction station instead.
  • Grab an Opal card or use a contactless bank card for seamless bus and train travel across the area.
