About Bundeena
Bundeena is a charming beachside village in Sydney's south, located 29 kilometres from the CBD within the Sutherland Shire. With a population of around 2,100, it sits on the southern shore of Port Hacking and is almost entirely surrounded by the Royal National Park. The village has a relaxed, bohemian character distinct from typical Sydney suburbs, with a strong artistic community and environmental consciousness. Its relative isolation creates a tight-knit community atmosphere.
Bundeena's lifestyle revolves around its stunning natural setting, with Jibbon Beach, Horderns Beach, Gunyah Beach, and Bonnie Vale offering swimming, surfing, and kayaking. The village is accessible by passenger ferry from Cronulla or by road through the Royal National Park. Local amenities include a general store, cafes, a bowling club, and the annual Bundeena Art Trail. The area attracts nature lovers, artists, and families who value its village feel, bushwalking trails, and Aboriginal rock engravings at Jibbon Head.
Bundeena falls under postcode 2230 and is governed by Sutherland Shire Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Heathcote electorate.
