If you’ve spent any amount of time in Sydney, chances are you’ve found yourself pounding the pavement on the Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk.

With epic beach views the entire way, it’s one of Sydney’s most popular short walks, and a favourite place for local runners.

And while we hardly need any extra incentive to explore to coastline between Bondi and Tamarama, each year Sculpture by the Sea gives us a great one anyway.

Tamarama Beach in Sydney.

Every spring, the 1.2km section of the coastal walk between Bondi Beach and Tamarama Beach becomes an open air gallery showcasing sculptures created by local and international artists.
