Bondi Beach, Australia
From series “Top Beaches for Surfing on Huge Waves”Lenght: 1 000 m.
Bondi Beach is considered one of the most popular beaches in Sydney. It is located near the city. Local aborigines gave the name to this section of the coast hundreds of years ago. The word "Bondi" means "water breaking on rocks" in their language. This name fully reflects the main feature of the beach – its characteristic strong waves. This stretch of coast was privately owned in the second half of the 19th century. Francis O'Brien bought it and 200 acres of land adjacent to the coast.
However, some parts of the coast are considered relatively safe. They are suitable for training surfers of the average level of training. The most dangerous time to relax on the coast is considered summer. Sharks are often found off the coast during this period. The area around the beach has become a well-equipped resort in recent years. There are restaurants and cafes, water sports centers and souvenir shops here. Several well-known hotels and major cultural center “Bondi Pavilion” are located near the coast.
