Bronte

Many Sydney siders from the Eastern Suburbs claim Bronte to be their favourite beach (including the Bride and Groom who are lucky enough to live at Bronte). Bronte is much smaller than Bondi, and is popular on sunny weekends. With parkland behind the beach featuring barbecue areas, an ocean water pool, and fabulous cafes, Bronte is known as a beautiful family beach. Bronte also has great surfing and body surfing and is patrolled by lifeguards over the summer months.

Things to do
· Brunch at one of the sidewalk cafes. There are half a dozen cafes to choose from. The Bride & Groom recommend Swell for a coffee.
· Sizzle snags on the public barbecues in the park and discover Aussie culture for just 20 cents.
· Do the famous coastal walk from Bondi to Bronte (a must do for first time visitors to Sydney).
· Boogie board, surf or swim in the waves (a favourite of the groom)
· Relax in the sun
. Ride the "Bronte Express" - Sydney's shortest train line
· There are established rock pools at most of the beaches in Sydney and Bronte is no different.
. The ocean pool is fantastic if you like the ocean but want to swim laps.

Getting There
· Public parking can be a nightmare on the weekend. Take public transport.
· Located near Tamarama, Clovelly and Coogee beaches Bronte has good public transport. Take Sydney Central Rail Station Bus 378 from Liverpool Street in the Sydney CBD Bronte is 2.5km south of Bondi Beach or 10.5km from the Sydney CBD
