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.
