Bondi Junction

Clifftop ocean views, leafy streets and headland parks at the city's eastern edge. Breezy, scenic and made for a coastal walk.

Seaplanes overhead, harbour at your feet and Lyne Park for the foreshore amble. The east at its most relaxed — polished, breezy and good with dogs.

Bondi-close and leafy, with Waverley Park's green and quiet village streets. Walkable, easy-going and good with a dog.

Sydney's most famous beach and the coastal walk that follows. Salty, lively and made for a clifftop wander.

Harbour beaches, Nielsen Park and leafy clifftop streets at the city's polished eastern tip. Coastal, calm and made for a swim-and-stroll kind of day.

Beside Centennial's parklands, with open green and off-leash space close by. Leafy and made for a proper run.

A beloved eastern beach with a grassy park and the coastal walk on tap. Salty, relaxed and made for a sea-air stroll.

The coastal-walk icon. The sand itself is a no-dog zone, but the parks, cafes and clifftop paths above more than deliver. Come for the views, not the beach romp.

The beach's calmer, more local end, where the coastal walk starts and the grassed reserves open up. Salty, relaxed and far comfier with a dog than the tourist strip.

A tiny clifftop cove on the Bondi-to-Bronte walk, all sea air and ocean views. Salty, scenic and made for a coastal stroll.
