The walk begins at the southern end of Bondi Beach, near the Bondi Icebergs outdoor swimming pool and ends at Bronte Beach, a popular spot with families who favour the shady lawns. Across Bronte Road from the park is a row of super-slick cafes that dish up fresh juices, ham n’ eggs, succulent salads and devil-may-care cakes.
