Bronte Beach

Last updated October 2026

Bronte Beach is one of three Waverley beaches that council lifeguards patrol year-round. Each day lifeguards assess the water and set up red and yellow flags; if there are no flags, no swimming is recommended. For a more leisurely swim there is an ocean pool (Bronte Baths) at the southern end. Bronte Park behind the beach has play equipment, shaded picnic areas, free barbecues, a miniature train track, toilets at the south and north ends, and a kiosk at Bronte Surf Life Saving Club. Parking is limited, so council suggests public transport. Lifeguard hours are 6am to 7pm from October to April and 7am to 5:30pm from May to September. Within a short walk are Bronte Kiosk (about 90 m), Pure Bronte (about 190 m) and High Tides (restaurant, about 210 m).
