    Bronte is a great place to organise a party or BBQ. It is a centralised location so you won't run the risk of your guests wandering around aimlessly looking for you. It's also less of a tourist trap than it's big brother, Bondi Beach, which makes the atmosphere a bit more laid back. I like Bronte because the grassy park blends easily into the sandy beach. You can be lounging on the grass under a shady tree and be at the water's edge for a dip in no time at all. There are a few key cafes surrounding the cove, but nothing mainstream. If want some goods from the bottle shop (not legal, but I won't tell if you don't), you will need to source them before you head over to Bronte, because there isn't one here. Bronte a good place for the kids, it's a good place to sunbake, it's a great place to BBQ, and it's a fantastic place to roll like a log down a grassy hill.

    When I was 14, I came over to Sydney to visit my dad who was living over here then. I went down to Bronte Beach while he was at work, went in the water as all the English tourist books advise you against doing, and was promptly stung by a jellyfish (or blue bottle - I didn't see the bastard). It hurt. A lot. English people grow up expecting to not be hurt by anything in nature, so this was a bit of a shock to the system. And unfortunately I hadn't seen that episode of Friends where they discuss the cure for jellyfish stings, so I just had to "grin" and bear it. Fortunately, 14 years on and I can appreciate Bronte for what it is - a beautiful, yet small beach, with big waves that I'm very unlikely to be throwing myself into. The grassy area is also a great place to hang out and will get very busy during the summer. The main drag next to the beach is an array of cafés and restaurants, making it a fantastic setting for both breakfast and dinner! Parking can be a bit of a pain, but don't let that stopping you from coming down and enjoying it!

    Bronte Beach is really kid-friendly, as is the adjacent Bronte Park. The waves here can be major dumpers and watch out for bluebottles in Summer, yeeowch! The natural rock pool at the south end of the beach is a safe haven from both of those although on bad days the odd blue bottle does slip through the rocks so protection is not guaranteed. Walk around these rocks at low tide and you'll often see sea creatures that get trapped there til the tide comes in and washed them back out into to the ocean. Commonly spotted are octopuses- both brown and the extremely dangerous tiny blue-ringed. Do not touch! I've also seen a HUGE pink moray eel trapped in here, it's always worth a look. The ocean pool at the very South or the beach is a good place to swim laps, as a lot of older locals do daily, and if you need a swim on a blue bottle day you can take refuge here.

    Q: What do you call a man with no arms and legs swimming in the ocean? A: Bob Call me grandma, but that's me to a tee. I like to float, bob and lightly paddle in the ocean when I go to the beach, which is why Bronte is my favourite beach. While Bondi has the crowds and Tamarama has the dumping waves, Bronte has the natural rock pools which provide a calmer ocean pool perfect for floating, bobbing and lightly paddling in. Bronte is the more laid-back child friendly of the three beaches and while Clovelly and Gordon's Bay are also relatively calm paddling havens, the lack of masses of sandy shores is what gives Bronte the edge. Add to this the nearby strip of cafes and restaurants, the ocean pool for lap swimming and the huge grass park area and Bronte is definitely the big winner. Need further proof? Check out the photos.

    One of favorite beaches in Sydney. Easy access by public transit from the CBD and there are great cafes right near by. Compared to the other eastern suburb beaches it doesn't get that packed on the weekends too.

    Surf, sand and pool on Bronte are tempting in fine weather.

    Another great Sydney beach! You can take the coastal walk to Bondi and experience one of the most amazing coastal views there are!

    One of my favorite beaches. Especially for the young ones there is a part with protected coral around so no fear I sharks entering. ;)
