About Bondi Beach

Bondi Beach needs little introduction - Australia's most famous stretch of sand, about 7 kilometres east of Sydney's CBD. The suburb of roughly 11,500 residents curves around the iconic crescent beach, home to year-round swimmers, surfers, and the famous Icebergs pool. The coastal walk to Bronte and Coogee ranks among Sydney's best urban experiences.

Life here revolves around the beach, whether that's dawn surf sessions, weekend markets, or café culture along Campbell Parade. The demographic mixes backpackers and tourists with established locals and professional newcomers who pay premium prices for the lifestyle. Bondi attracts people who genuinely use the beach - this isn't a suburb for those who just want to say they live here.

Bondi Beach falls under postcode 2026 and is governed by Waverley Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Vaucluse electorate.
