Stay safe on our iconic beaches

Nothing says summer like a day at the beach. There’s no better way to cool off after all! Bondi, Bronte, and Tamarama offer pristine sand, surf, and spectacular views. So, take a dive between the flags and grab some fish and chips, because it’s going to be a scorcher.

Just remember to follow our beach safety tips so that you can #StaySafeThisSummer!
