More of a local's beach than Bondi. The waves are a bit bigger and rougher, and it has a beautiful park behind it that is good for exploring. Get there with the 378 bus from Oxford St.

Spectacular walk. Can't believe this is free. Every visitor to Sydney should do this. Get to Bondi with the 380 or 333 bus, and use the 378 to get to/from Bronte.

Lovely walk to an awesome swimming hole deep in the bush. It easy to get there by public transit - take the train to Heathcote station, and start walking. If you're a keen hiker, you can continue past Karloo Pools to Uloola Falls, and then to Audley.
