Bondi Beach is a beehive of all the fun in this world. Whether you love reveling in life throughout the day or when darkness immerses the air, Bondi beach is the ideal place for you.
If your week hasn’t been great, and you are trying to find something interesting to do in Bondi beach, listed below are a few of the activities that will create memories that you will keep for life.
See the sunrise at Ben Buckler Point
Follow the trail running just above North Bondi Rocks to discover a popular lookout point called Ben Buckler. This is an enchanting spot for watching the sun rise and set over the ocean on a clear day. During winter season, between the months of April and September, it is among the best places to view whales migrate, often with their new calves in tow.
Dine at Lox Stock & Barrel
Experience paddock-to-plate dining at Lox Stock and Barrel, where the team believes that tasty food begins with great ingredients. Simple but spectacular is the theme at this NYC-style deli, which provides newly baked goods as well as the normal breakfast, lunch and dinner choices. Visitors will find European-inspired meals with a decidedly Bondi twist– think home-made brisket pastrami sandwich with Russian coleslaw and pickles on rye, and crispy skin barramundi with corn, basil oil, truss tomato, salsa and lime.
Indulge the taste goblet at Gelato Messina
The gelato here is by far the best in Australia– it’s that good. There are 35 signature flavours, but what Messina is most known for is its ever-changing, week-long specials, which have included innovative mixtures such as bougatsa (cinnamon-scented custard gelato with crispy filo pastry), Perfect Pearing (pear and white balsamic sorbet), and coconut and pineapple upside-down cake. Messina has shops dotted throughout the nation, with its newest addition to Bondi an ice-cream van parked down by the beach every weekend.

People-watch with a beer in hand at Café Bikini
A much-loved watering hole on the main street in Bondi, this intimate little nook feels a bit like a beachside rum bar someplace in the Caribbean. Grab a seat outside underneath the straw roof and delight in burgers, margaritas or among its famous $25 sangria jugs. The vibe here is mega cooled, and it’s well worth stopping here for a number of sundowners and a spot of people watching. What’s great about Café Bikini is that it offers a peek into the a little less glamorous yet more homely side of Bondi.

Shop ’til you drop at Bondi Market
Every weekend, Bondi Beach Public School hosts a public market. On Saturdays, the school playground springs to life in the form of a farmer’s market, while on Sundays, it transforms into a style lover’s dream, with vendors offering everything from clothing by up-and-coming designers to one-off vintage pieces. There are also items of jewellery, homeware, skincare products, food, drink and music. It’s well worth a wander before a well-earned dip.
With all these activities to delight in on a weekend, there is no reason why you should get stuck indoors. Get out and have a good time!
