It has a population of 11,656 residents. Its post code is 2026. Bondi, North Bondi, and Bondi Junction are neighbouring suburbs. Bondi Beach is one of the most visited tourist sites in Australia.

Originally, Bondi Beach was a private beach. It wasn’t until 1882 that it was opened to the public. Since 1882 it has grown in popularity to become one of the most popular beaches in Australia. 

While Bondi Beach is certainly famous and hosts many visitors, it is not a particularly huge beach.  It is about 1 kilometer long, roughly 6 miles.

The word 'bondi' in the local Aboriginal language means the sound of crashing waves, a very fitting description for this iconic beach. As surfers from around the world brave the enormous waves, sun lovers stretch out to tan on the fine golden sand. 

Bondi Beach was a working class suburb throughout most of the twentieth century with migrant people from New Zealand comprising the majority of the local population. 

Following World War II, Bondi Beach and the Eastern Suburbs became home for Jewish migrants from Poland, Russia, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Germany. 

Bondi Beach is represented in one of the most popular sporting competitions across Australia, the National Rugby League competition, by the local team the Sydney Roosters, officially the Eastern Suburbs District Rugby League Football Club (ESDRLFC).

Bondi Beach is an iconic stretch of fine sand and curling waves and one of the world’s most famous beach destinations. You’ll enjoy Bondi at any time of the year. The beach is flanked by sandstone headlands, which are popular for walking, golfing and whale watching.

Bondi Beach is 30 minutes from Town Hall Station by train and bus, and offers visitors insights into Australia’s easy-going beach culture.  Surrounded by a tremendous selection of eateries and shopping, Bondi Beach is home to some of the beachiest and best.
