Beaches
People move to these suburbs to be near the beaches, so don't think they're just
for tourists.
»
Brunch
On weekends brunchsters descend on the cafes from near and far. Once you
step back from Bondi's Campbell Pde, Sydneysiders are in the majority.

Clovelly Hotel
A proper neighbourhood pub; most of the punters stroll here from the
surrounding streets.

Lonely Planet's Top Tip
Bondi Junction, situated 2.5km from Bondi Beach and 6km from Circular Quay, is the transport hub for the
Eastern Beaches. The Eastern Suburbs train line terminates beneath the main bus station, right next to the West-
field shopping complex. If you've got a MyMulti pass and you're near a station, catch the train and head up-
stairs to connect by bus to the beach. It's much quicker than catching the bus from the city.
