Bronte Suburb Profile

Bronte has an irresistible charm that draws people in for the long haul. Living in Bronte means experiencing such a beautiful suburb that it’s no wonder everyone from your average Joe to the hottest celebrity feels at home here. On Bronte Beach, there’s a place for everyone, from playful toddlers wanting to splash in the water to bronzed trendies pounding the pathways to seniors who have earned their moment in the sun. Ocean swimmers join surfers and paddle boarders year-round, especially during December when the Bondi to Bronte Ocean Swim takes place. Little Nippers are a regular feature on the beach on weekends, while the ocean baths are popular with fitness junkies and workout enthusiasts. 

Away from the sand, the extensive parkland that flows up the hillside is a popular gathering spot for locals and visitors alike. Hilltop pathways form part of the Bondi to Bronte coastal walk and continue to historic Waverley Cemetery perched on the rugged headland. The aromas from the row of cafés with street-side seating opposite Bronte Park entice locals and visitors who can enjoy views over the ocean. From the sleepy back streets to the thriving beach scene, living in Bronte offers one of Sydney’s most loved suburbs. The diversity of the local architecture reflects the mix of residents and visitors and complements the natural beauty of this wonderful beachside suburb.
