Bondi Beach is one of the world’s most famous coastal destinations. Located in Sydney, Australia—just 7 kilometers east of the central business district—it stretches for about a kilometer along the glittering Pacific Ocean.

It is the absolute heart of Australian surf and beach culture, known globally for its golden sands, reliable waves, and laid-back lifestyle. It features the world’s very first surf lifesaving club (founded in 1907), made even more famous by the reality TV show Bondi Rescue.
