Bondi Icebergs
'Iconic' was created for this famous pool, where poseurs and tourists mix with hard-core 'I've-swum-here-daily-for-50-years' locals. Is there a sauna with a better view?

Bondi Icebergs is an iconic ocean pool located at the southern end of Bondi Beach. It's known for its stunning views of the beach and the Pacific Ocean, as well as its historic clubhouse, which has been a popular hangout for locals and tourists alike for decades. On one of my visits I watched dolphins frolick in the surf from my window seat in the sauna! The pool itself is divided into two sections: a 50-metre lap pool and a smaller pool for recreational swimming. Bondi Icebergs is a great place to swim, sunbathe, and people-watch: a must-visit destination during your time in Sydney.
