Bronte Beach

Bronte Beach is a small but popular recreational beach in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, Australia. The beach itself faces east and picks up swell from any direction, but bulky headlands to the north and south and clusters of underwater rocks make conditions challenging, especially for swimmers. The south headland shapes Bronte’s premium wave, but it breaks across rocks so it’s for confident board-riders only. Those same rocks create a sheltered natural pool beloved of parents with young kids, while an ocean-fed lap pool tucked in beneath the south headland provides one of Sydney’s finest saltwater swim experiences. A wide grassy park behind the beach has barbecues and picnic tables and gives way to a wooded gully between rows of expensive houses on the opposing hillsides. The beach is patrolled by lifeguards and is home to the Bronte Surf Lifesaving Club, which is the oldest such organisation in the world
