Bondi Beach is too crowded. If you must go to a beach, choose another one. All the water around the Australian coast are rough so be prepared

Yesterday's Hero
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 07/31/06
A filthy place which was once the jewel in the crown of Sydney. On one hand the council has tarted up the streets and then the once vibrant shopping strip is disappearing/going broke because of a coucil parking inspectors who are scaring shoppers away. As seen on TV!
It is slowly becoming like Sahara Desert, everyone knows where it is but fewer ...

Too big and rough
By uplange, 12/29/05
This beach, contrary to its reputation, did not impress me at all. It is too big and the sea is too rough for me. I recommend the beach in Watsons Bay. Very small, quiet and the sea is really nice and calm. You have the chance to see Sydney skyline in the background.

Over rated!
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 05/10/07
I don't know if it was because I worked everyday for 2 months at Bondi but, I really think Bondi Beach is quite over rated. I found it far too busy and full of absolute posers! If thats your thing, then you'll love it. Also what out for the rip tides. Was unfortunate to get caught up in one. Don't swim against it though. I found Coogee Beach much better and cleaner, and full of better eye candy.

Famous, but crowded during summer

If you can time your visit to include the Sculpture by Sea exhibits, Bondi is a must see. Otherwise, it is a beach complete with nightclubs, McDonalds and souvenier stands.

Beautiful Beach
By j_oltarzewski, 09/27/05
I would recommend visiting this beach, although I found Coogi Beach to be even more beautiful. The town surrounding Bondi is nice to walk around during the day, but beware, gangs surround the area at night-I know this because friends of mine were assaulted while exploring at night.

More than just a Beach!!!
By Marie Jo E, 10/04/05
Bondi Beach, one of the world's famous beaches. It is a reflection of the world!!!
Very accessible, buses and cabs are available to take you to and from Bondi Beach. When you get hungry, cafes and restaurants are just a few steps away. You forgot something? or run out of films? no problem... shops are just around the corner.

a must see
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 12/30/05
if you are in sydney , then definately go see Bondi Beach......... there is a lovely beach walk that starts at Bondi Beach and goes to Bronte Beach. If you prefer a less crowded beach then i recomment Maroubra Beach, its bigger and there are less people there. I think it tends to be a little easier to swim in also.
