Bronte Beach is a cool spot just south of Bondi, with killer waves for the pros and a chill natural pool for the kiddos. The beach faces east, so it catches swell from all directions, making it a bit tricky for swimmers. But hey, there's a sweet ocean-fed lap pool under the south headland that's perfect for a saltwater swim. Plus, there's a grassy park with BBQs and picnic tables – perfect for a lazy day in the sun.
