The sound of waves on sand is Sydney’s theme song, and this short and sensational walk (2.5 km) is a heart-and-soul symphony, wrapping up the very best of the city’s coastline. In an easy, one-hour stroll, the trail follows the headlands between Bondi and Bronte, cresting high to offer a view of sea-carved sandstone and crashing waves, then dipping down for a close-up look at some of Sydney’s best-loved beaches.

With the Pacific Ocean as a backdrop at either end, you’ll find smart cafes where you can chill with a bluewater view. The walk begins at the southern end of Bondi Beach, near the Bondi Icebergs outdoor swimming pool and ends at Bronte Beach, a popular spot with families who favour the shady lawns. Across Bronte Road from the park is a row of super-slick cafes.  Bondi_3 Tamarama_1 Tamarama_2 Tamarama_3 Bronte_1 Bronte_Pool
