Everything feels beachy and effortless, just like Bondi itself. If you’re cooling down, a cold brew or smoothie is perfect to sip while you catch your breath.\n\nTake a seat outside and soak in the scene, sunlight glinting off the ocean, surfers rinsing off, and locals drifting by with sandy feet and smiles.
