Why locals recommend it
Famous for its health-conscious residents, Bondi is a great spot for soft-sand running and a session at the outdoor gym on the beach’s northern end. In 20 minutes, do as many rounds as possible of five pull-ups, 10 push-ups, and 15 air squats. Then run to the south end and do 10 laps at the Bondi Icebergs saltwater pool. Icebergs has a sauna—included in the price of a pool pass—to relieve tired muscles, as well as a massage therapist who sometimes does sessions outside so you can hear the waves crashing while you get a rubdown.

Tips from locals
It's iconic for a reason. Grab one of the surf boards provided or go rent your own and head out for a swim or paddle. During the peak of summer it can get pretty crowded though!

Trendy, health-conscious Sydneysiders head to laid-back cafes around Hall Street, while hip backpackers frequent the area's casual pubs. Walkers and joggers use the clifftop Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk, with its dramatic scenery.
