There’s no shortage of Sydney things to do on a beach family vacation at Bondi beach Australia. The swimming, surfing and sunbathing are givens. What about after that?

Well, there’s a rather challenging skate park right on Bondi beach, if you have children that are into skateboarding.

On a gentler note there’s the fantastic coast walk from Bondi to Bronte beach – or further if you have the energy. And don’t forget there’s always buses to get you back if you can’t face the return trip.

Or consider beach metal detecting – perfect if you’re on the spot in the early morning or when the daytrippers leave in the late afternoon. Hire a metal detector and do some Sydney beachcombing with the kids.

There’s generally something happening at Bondi pavillion as well. World music, short film festivals, theatre, art installations and exhibitions – there’ll be something happening right in the middle of Bondi beach Australia while you’re there.

Don’t miss the Bondi Beach markets on the weekends. Art, craft, bric-a-brac, music and home-made food. It’s held in the grounds of the Bondi Beach Public School and is well worth a visit.

If you’re a family that does a bit of running – or at least that’s relatively fit – then join the tens of thousands of Sydneysiders who run or walk the 14 km City to Surf on the second weekend in August.

It’s's a great fun run from the Hyde Park start to the Bondi beach finish.

September sees Sydney’s Festival of the Winds – kite-flying for all.

November is the month for Bondi Sculpture by the Sea, another highlight.

And January’s Sydney Festival brings more activity to Bondi.
