Bronte Baths
Clamber along the hillside from Bondi Beach to find this oblong pool carved neatly out of the headland. A set of white wooden steps descend down into the water which is shallow enough for children. Further past the fenced gate is better suited for more serious swimmers to get a few laps in. Come at dawn to witness a spectacular ocean sunrise. You can always reward your early start with a coffee from one of the fuss-free cafés on Bronte Road. Recommended by local insider Angharad Jones
