Known For

• Picturesque beach close to the city

The most popular surf spot is known as “The Point,” which is located at the southern end of the beach. This spot is known for its long, peeling right-handers and is considered one of the best surf spots in Sydney.

The beach, known for its combination of sand and rocky terrain, is nestled against towering cliffs which are home to luxurious, multi-million dollar homes with breathtaking views of Bronte Park. The park, located just behind the beach, boasts lush greenery, including a verdant valley filled with trees and sprawling grasslands, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy nature.

The best time to visit Bronte Beach is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and the beach is most crowded. However, the beach can be enjoyed year-round, and the off-season can be a great time to visit if you prefer a more relaxed atmosphere.
