Bondi Beach lives up to every bit of its hype — and then some. From the moment I stepped onto the golden sand and saw those perfect turquoise waves, I knew I was in a true Aussie icon. Surfers were already out, riding smooth waves like they were born on boards, while early joggers traced the curve of the beach like a moving postcard.

I didn’t surf (yet!), but just strolling along the shoreline, grabbing a smoothie, and watching the locals do their thing was such a vibe. I also walked part of the Bondi to Coogee coastal path, and the views were absolutely stunning — think cliffs, crashing waves, and breezy air that wakes up your soul.

Oh, and Bondi Icebergs pool? Unreal. That ocean pool sitting right at the edge of the sea is the photo spot. Definitely a must-see, even if you don’t swim.

How to Get There:
