Bondi Beach, Popular beach destination in Sydney, Australia
The one-kilometer stretch of sand meets ocean waves along a crescent-shaped coastline with residential buildings in the background.
The name originates from the Aboriginal word 'Boondi', referring to the sound of waves breaking on the beach, first recorded between 1899 and 1903.
The beach represents a center of Australian beach lifestyle, with the establishment of the Bondi Surf Life Saving Club in 1906 influencing safety standards.
Visitors can access the beach via bus route 333 from Sydney center and must swim between red and yellow flags for safety measures.
During summer weekends in 1929, the beach attracted 60,000 people, marking its emergence as a major Australian coastal destination.
