My absolute favourite thing to do on a nice day is to go to Bronte Beach. You can do the Bondi to Bronte walk and take in all the beautiful coast line which getting some exercise, you can swim in the Bronte ocean pool, eat fish and chips on the beach or cook up a bbq on the public bbqs, and there are lots of shaded areas where you can sit all day without getting sunburnt. There is a big kids playground for little ones, if you can drag them out of the water!

If you want to eat in Bondi, go one street back from the beach (glenayr st) for delicious cafes, the cafes right on the beach are less good. My favourite is Lox Stocks & Barrel for breakfast. Bondi Fish is meant to be great for lunch.
