While many parts of the world are rugging up and settling in for the cold winter months, today marks the first day of summer Down Under. Escape the winter chill with us on Street View, where you’ll find Australia’s most loved and well-known beaches ready for you to explore. Sun yourself on Bondi Beach, catch a wave at Bronte, or go for a virtual dip over at Manly with
this latest collection of beautiful beach imagery.
Tourist mecca and
reality TV star, Bondi is the quintessential Aussie beach. It was quiet the morning we captured this imagery, but on hot days sunseekers from far and wide flock to this popular spot. Home to the
world’s first surf life saving club, you might just catch a glimpse of some iconic red
togs as you walk past the lifesaver’s tower.
Bondi Beach
Head south along the coastal walk and you’ll come to Bronte Beach. Although the surf can be a bit rough for swimming, Bronte’s grassy picnic area and ocean pool make it a very popular spot with families.

Once you’ve splashed around Sydney’s eastern beaches, why not head to the north side of the harbour city and check out
Manly and
Shelly beaches. Lined with Norfolk Island pines, Manly is a beach for all seasons, drawing swimmers, surfers and tourists alike with its great breaks and long golden stretch of sand.
Manly Beach
Tucked around the corner from the hustle and bustle of Manly is Shelly Beach. Surrounded by a
bush walking track and sheltered from the swell by a reef, Shelly is an ideal place to take a quiet swim.

If that isn’t quiet enough for you, drive a few hours south to
Hyam Beach at Jervis Bay. This popular weekend getaway is surrounded by national parks, and according to the Guinness Book of Records, has the
whitest sand in the world!

We hope you enjoy your time in the sun as you discover some of the most beautiful spots Down Under on Street View!
