Bondi Beach
Bondi is
one of the world's most perfect beaches, a white crescent
of sand strung between two rocky headlands, situated
just 15 minutes from the city centre. Topless sunbathing
is tolerated
and swimmers
should stick to the patrolled areas of North Bondi or
Bondi Baths, on the southern rocks. The coastal walk
takes in the whole gamut of beach cultures, from the

and the soothing sea pools
at Coogee.
