Sightseeing
Take a bus to Watsons Bay and then the ferry to Circular Quay. Great way to see the harbour. You can do it in either direction but check timetable ahead as ferry can be infrequent outside peak times. Fish and Chips on the wharf is a great way to finish.

Bondi is the best known but for us Bronte is the best beach. It's smaller and less crowded with a heritage rock pool and 'bogie hole' at the south end for a splash. Only swim in the pools or between the flags... but it's a must do.
